Comment from The Death
Hi Debs,
You managed to capture this fact so beautifully. You did serve the poet on a plate. :P Ha! These four lines do define what goes in our minds as we write. What might resonate with one, may not with the other. Excellent rhyming and consistent meter. Hope you win this prompt. Good luck! :)
Regards,
Anupam

Hi Anupam :)
Thanks for your great feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.
I didn't place in the contest - I was quite high up the leaderboard and then it all went wrong for me in the booth overnight! Never mind!
Best wishes as always, Debra :)

Hello Debra!
Wise words, my friend! I especially appreciate your last line: "predisposition's out of my control." I can truly relate to that line!
And I also appreciate the notion of poetry feeding one's soul.
Best Wishes!

Very nice Poetry! I feel it as a very precise description on what conveys to be a poet! Not only good ingredients but also tasty seasoning in the wording! Painting was also a great selection to complement the superb writing! Thanks for enjoying us with this nice "poetry supper"!

I like how this piece speaks the truth about a writer, a poet. We put it out there for the reader to make sense of. What we intend is not always what is taken away from it.

I find your poem on poetry writing the most accurate and sincere. The last verse is spot on. Sometimes the poems that I poured my heart into were not well received and others (that I thought were mediocre) were. Good job and good luck in the contest!

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is a clever metaphor. Yum. It should draw the reader in to want do as Eve Merriam says in her poem How to Eat a Poem. Your poem is as playful as hers. Well done.

Hello my friend
Interesting poem about food and writing metaphor. You followed the rules of the contest well. It's a fine entry for the Find a creative definition for poet writing prompt contest. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
A creative definition for a poem, A Matter of Taste, framed as an AABB rhymed quatrain, allows that the poet writes what he/she feels and then lets the reader apply it to their situation. There will be different reactions from all over.

Comment from robyn corum
Debra,
Hahaha You are absolutely right. We can spend all the time we want on the preparation, the 'spices' we add, and which recipe we use. Then we can toss in a lovely tablecloth, flowers in a vase, and candlelight -- but if our 'guest' is allergic to thyme, hates carnations, or can't see in dim lighting -- or is just finicky is some other way - we're doomed, regardless.
This is a fun metaphor for creating poetry; so vivid and so TRUE! I really enjoyed it. The addition of the rhymes, though not called for, make my heart happy. hahaha
Thanks and good luck!
