Delightful, Muse!
Both form and content resonate with me! I have never attempted a "Peppered Pickle" in its original form or modified, but I hope to do so! As for pickles, well, that goes without saying! Life would be dull, indeed, sans pickles!

Thank you for sharing!

I think it doesn't matter to me, I use strong couplets in a previously named type if thought up, but use its method in ones I write now, it's currently onsite at the moment. A beautifully written peppered pickle, blessings, Roy

A very well-written modified peppered pickle about eating peppered pickles is enjoyable in many ways, they are tasting good, and the spices and pepper opens up the brain to have wiser conversation.

LOL! Right now my stomach is a little sensitive; you still made me want to eat a little pickle - oh the powers and the dangers if a well written piece! :)

I enjoyed the colorful, lively wording of this poem. You met the form wonderfully...and this poem is actually really sensual at the beginning! So much passion! (Maybe I should consider that the pickle is just a metaphore? Uhm... :D)

However, the second part proceed to focus on the effects on the mind...away from the senses...so, I decided to take it literally :).

Powerful writing! I very much enjoyed the banal topic presented with so much emotions!

I'm glad you tried the Peppered Pickle here and you have the correct syllable count and good end rhymes, but you missed the internal rhyming on line two and the initial word should only be one syllable. However, I thought this was a very inventive and pleasing poem, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Now you have updated, you have the rhyming assonance, love Dolly x

    Oh, Miss Dolly, I did mess up, I am sorry. There is nothing I can do with the main word now, but I'll try to rework the second line. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to write this form, I enjoyed it very much. Blessings and love, Muse

    Dolly, look at line 2 now. I did use slant rhyme.
reply by Dolly'sPoems on 11-Aug-2020
    Great! That hits the spot perfectly now x x x
reply by the author on 11-Aug-2020
    And I changed the definition to a "Modified Peppered Pickle" at the advice of one reviewer. I wrote in the author notes that the reason I called it modified is that my main word should be one syllable, and I have 2. That this my first try at the form.

    Dolly, thank you for the fun! I enjoyed this immensely.

You did a great job with the peppered pickle style. I enjoyed reading your fun poem. Great job with the rules. Your words read smoothly with great imagery. The picture is a great addition to your poem. You are right about the spiciness of the different kinds of peppers. Some of them I can tell how hot they would be to eat just by the fumes they emit from the jar. If one has any brains left, then hopefully the peppers didn't burn them all up and did help one focus with new ideas.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

    Thanks for the great review, Jan. It was my first try at the form, and I just found out from Dolly that my main word have 2 syllables, supposed to be just one. Well, I can't change it because it would render the whole poem null and voice. But I had great joy writing this - it was a fun form indeed. You should try it, if not already - it is very creative. Watch out for the internal rhyming, it is pretty complex. Thanks for stopping by.

    Label your 'modified' in the notes. I have a bunch of these.
reply by the author on 12-Aug-2020
    I labeled it "modified." I feel better now (smile).

You wrote a very peppered poem in here, I enjoyed the humor and the light touch. It adopts very well to this innovative new form. It was a pleasure to read this innovative work.

Yes, I like it and yes the pepper is noted for the healing and calming functions that are stated in this wonderful little ditty of this 7 line poem. The picture is fantastic with all of its bright colors. You have created here a great invention. I will need to try it out. giovanni (A Peppered Picle is a new)

Now this is different - an ode to a pickle! I do enjoy my pickles with sandwiches and chips. Very creative piece that makes good use of the format developed by Dolly. I still haven't tried it yet myself. Well done.
