Wow! Great description you've used here, although it made me feel hungry, okay? :)
It also has an old fashioned sense to it, like it was written by some long time poet.

Hi!
This is great :) I love the imagery you use, even though it made me hungry. Very hungry. I had to stop before I wrote this to go munch on something... XD
I couldn't find any errors, so boom goes that part of the review :D That's really good, though!
I really like how you structured this... you ended with four lines in a stanza, but I didn't notice until I was done reading and went back to analyze. I'm surprised it melded so well, so congrats on that. :)
Finally, I have to ask what made you come up with this. I'm curious! :D
Sorry the review was so short... you pretty much fixed everything before you even posted it!
I love your poems, so please keep writing! :)

Well, it's a villanelle - the standard for that is five tercets (stanzas of three lines) and one quartet (stanza of four lines). Also, this was totally a challenge by Lumi :P

Haha love it! You don't sacrifice good writing for comedy, and i totally appreciate that. the description made me crave bacon, too! you're great at putting words together and making phrases flow effortlessly and i know how hard that can be. I'm not great at it. there's hardly a thing to criticize. fun little poem.
