The flow
do people really eat apple pie with cheddar cheese? sounds interesting. re: syllables, you have
Maple Syrup Slurping——–6 for the title
Apple pie is best———–5 nice image
warm and syrup dressed.—–5
You can go with cheddar—–6
but maple syrup’s better.—7
Is the number in each line important? the last line could say, “but maple’s is better.”—-6 syllables
Great for light verse on food, the eating of which would not make one lighter.
I am not counting syllables; I am writing trimeter.
As for the cheese, there is a saying in these parts: “Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.”
would this be the correct scansion then?
L1-2: two troches and the extra stress
L3: three troches, true trochaic trimeter
L4: the anaphora, then three troches
Yup
