Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.
I have something to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Today's prompt is Competition.
By now I think that you all know that I love limited poems, like Haiku, and Elfje. During the A-Z Challenge, I found the Epulaeryu at ladyleemanila's blog. I think I need some practise in Epulaeryu - strange name with a strange explanation. I have shortened the explanation:
The Epulaeryu poem is about delicious food (The name is, I think, a mixture of Greek and Japanese).
It consists of seven lines and thirty-three syllables.
The form is 7/5/7/5/5/3/1 syllables, and the seventh line ends with an exclamation mark.
Sometimes the competition
is in the kitchen:
Dicing and shredding veggies,
slicing meat and fish,
chopping fine herbs, and
steaming rice
Roll!
Can you guess what's being made here?

Og så måtte jeg da lige prøve på dansk også. Epulaeryu er et vers med en enkelt, meget fast truktur. Ligesom både Haiku og Elfje. Et epulaeryu (jeg tror ordet er halvt græsk, halvt japansk) handler om mad, m glæden ved mad, processer og fællsesskab - positive oplevelser med mad. Det består af 7 linjer og 35 stavelser, der fordeles sådan: 7/5/7/5/5/3/1 stavelser. Den sidste linje - én stavelse - ender med et udråbstegn.
Og så forsvandt konkurencen undervejs, men den var nu heller ikke det væsentlige her.
Der sker noget i køkkenet.
Grøntsager snittes,
skaldyr og fisk skæres fint
urter der hakkes
ris der dampes.
Og så tang -
rul!

What a fascinating poetic form. I am tired and a bit brain dead here. I 'think' what you are making is a Japanese dish with rice rolled around a selection of food and wrapped in seaweed. For the life of me I cannot think of the name of the dish. I think I should go to bed.
SvarSletYour guess is spot on. I hope you're sleeping now ;:)
SletAh, sushi! I did guess, and we are supposed to have some on Friday.
