You got me. I do not think I have ever heard of this form before. So the syllable count per line goes 1/2/3 then 5/6/7 then 8?
(Or am I reading too much into the form?)
What I will say is my grandma (who never lied to me once!) told me if I break a candy bar in half and shake both halves with gusto...all the calories fall out!
(Hmmm)
That doesn't seem to agree with my scale's observations)
Cute!
Happy Recognized Poem!

The form is two triplets and then a single line. This is an old poem, too, and I wish I had increased the font size.
Thanks for reading and reviewing,
I like your grandma's approach to lowering calorie counts.

Me too! (Sadly my hips are proof it was an old wife's tale)
LOL

I found your Clarity Poem to be as lively as the image, I enjoyed it's beat
"deliciously confounding thing"
The last line completes it perfectly

Dieting can be a way of life. Exercise is important. Good visual imagery created about dieting and food in general. Nice work. Good luck in the contest.

Why, thank you so much and thank you for all the stars and good wishes. That being said, I guess I should go work out on my exercise ball.

What is good to eat changes from day to day. We have little control of it. We don't have a lot of time to cook. Most of our meals are take out or micro-wave. Fresh food costs quite a bit Most companies add way too many spices. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem does a lot to fulfill the format requirements and it provides a reminder that dieting is a constantly evolving thing that requires updating. Nice.

A good and fine poem indeed

I believe it is contest worthy
Good luck

This was a humorous Clarity Pyramid Poem. The structure of this poem are per contest rules. I had to laugh reading the last line. Nicely written.

Comment from Leineco
Very nicely done :-)
At first, I thought you had messed up on line 2 and line 3, but then I went back and re-read the format instructions ~ I think you were the only one that chose the "clarify the definition of the poem" option rather than the "synonym for the title" option :-)
Very clever use of the clarity poem :-)
Nice work!

I'm impressed that you took the time to not only read, but re-read the format instructions. I had to do that a number of times before even attempting this format for the first time. I thank you for all the stars and the compliments.
