Aditus' prompts and circumstances - 13. Poetry Prompt 4 - METER 1

Write four equal lines of poetry, in regular meter, about preparing your favorite food. They need not rhyme.
The finished poem should have an identifiable rhythm. Each line should have the same number of syllables. In other words, have a meter: such as tetrameter, pentameter, or hexameter; and pick a foot that you find easy to work with, either from this discussion or from the Wikipedia site.

Pizza

Flour, and oil, and yeast, and water.
Salt to taste the sea of Naples.
Red tomatoes, oregano.
Cut in squares of cheesy goodness.

 

 

trochaic tetrameter (?)

Lasagna was too complicated.
Read Irri's explanation, you can do it!
I'm not sure I could determine the meter in other people's poem's yet, but at least I can use it for my own stuff now. I hope.

And "salt to taste the sea of Naples" is excellent, by any standard. A tour de force, Addy! well done!
