This is such a cute poem. I love crunchy peanut butter too and I've been know to stick a finger in. You poem is humorous and well rhymed and I think it will do well in the contest.

    Thank you. Is that peanut butter I can see on your lips?

I know this was about peanut butter but you described it so well, my mind went elsewhere, but that wouldn't have been allowed in this contest. This funny, and creamy. A very good Ode and entry.

Well done.

I share your great love for peanut butter. I try to rein in my desire for it by trying to eat it in moderation. I like it on a spoon, on bread, a banana, on my finger, and so many other ways. I like what you've presented here and enjoyed reading this delicious and well written work. Well done!

Love this ode! Yes, PB is a phenomenon. I loved the rhythm, and the allusions were spot on. Who knew lowly Peanut butter could inspire such lofty praise? Good work! Good luck with the contest.

This Ode to a Jar of Peanut Butter finds the most common addiction is to the well-loved legume, rendered and blended into the bread spread.

OK, I guess it's--I'm looking for an excuse to say it's odious--but it's not. It's too good for that. It does lack the high seriousness of most odes. Guess I could say your addiction is serious....Good job and good luck.

    I'm pleased you didn't PUNish me with an odious review for the lack of gravitas in my nutty poem. Thanks for reviewing.

Such a simple thing and you glorified it to the point I was drooling, well done. I don't know how others will vote, but so far you got my vote, personally I think the entire package was perfect.

Cohesive all the way through. Fun admission to an obsession-and the results! I live with a peanut butter nut. We joke about elephant breath!
Odes are for matters of importance, on whatever level. I enjoyed.

    When I was a kid, I would make a peanut butter, banana, jam, and lettuce sandwich. ha ha
