Hi all.
 This is a piece mused from the November Pandora challenge. I had to include two words - I chose simmered and whip in this one. The params of this form; Lines 1 and 8 ~ 3 syllables Lines 2 and 7 ~ 6 syllables Lines 3 and 6 ~ 9 syllables Lines 4 and 5 ~ 12 syllables Line 8 is the title and summarizes the meaning of the poem. The rhyme scheme requirements: A A B B B C C C Stanza layout can be either 3 2 3 or 3 3 2. (Holiday) Potpourri Scents entice; simmered holiday spice caramel, chocolate drizzled glaze nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger: powdered-sugar craze savory ciders, scintillating sweets amaze dollops of fresh whipped-cream jubilee mouth watering decree potpourri ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Hello Don.
 Thanks Don - you should stop into Karnak and  the lovely poems Liz has created for this form. Heavenly!  Glad to have created your aroma-therapy for the day!  Cheers! Cleo

Yes, yes, I agree that I must take time to read Liz's heavenly presentations in Karnak.
I also must force myself to try a couple. Don |

Hi Cleo,
Once again, it was the sight of food that attracted me!  I'm not totally house trained, but still, I'm on a baking spurt at the moment. It was brought on after a colleague gave me all the apples off his tree - what to do with them in an apartment? Tis enjoyable. As to the form, there are a few relatives of this one I've done, but haven't really been bitten by them. They do make a nice appearance on a page, however. One can make a left-justified bullet first, center the diamond, and finish with a right-justified bottom. If they are a sequential thing, it's most fascinating. So many variables to play with. Thanks for the tasty offering. Merlin ······· ······· |

Such heavenly aromas! That's one of the best things about
the holidays ... the smells wafting from the kitchen throughout the house. It's funny, everyone who comes through the front door thinks they can guess what you're baking! lol Cathy
