The Chef – Part 2

This was the 2nd part of the 2 part chef poem that I wrote for my wife as a tribute to her completing culinary school and graduating.

The Chef – Part 2
Have you ever seen a talent with such pure passion
One who gives so much effort for your own enjoyment
Slaves in the heat and gives sweat and sometimes blood
All for their art
I can only stare in awe while she works her wizardry
Reagents are scattered all over the countertop
The smells fill the air and bring her to life
She is moving in rhythm so fast and graceful
Controlling every thought multitasking extreme
Having four dishes cooking at the same time
How can anyone do this, I think to myself
It seems like a divine gift one who has so much control
And she does it all for me
She can bring the sweet sensations to my mouth
All for her art
One can only be stunned by the incredible scene
Of a chef at work, they know no bounds

The Chef – Part I

Misc Poems
22 Oct 2008

This poem is dedicated to my wife and I wrote this while she worked her way through culinary school to become a chef.

The Chef – Part I
As I enter the kitchen, my white attire glowing
Cool air is pungent with the scent of art flowing
A new recipe tonight a brand new creation
Ingredients fly in a new preparation
The Heat is thick and sweat is brewing
Some wine is added to the sauce that is stewing
One dish is done and brought to a chill
Mysical colors are vivid and flavor a thrill
So I keep up my magic and add some more salt
Dish number two is perfect I can find no fault
Tables are covered with remains of the art
I spoon up a sample and taste it is tart
Passions of my creation all lie complete
Guests are in awe, delighted at this treat
My pride beams high as I see their delight
Enjoyment over my art brings me a good night
