15 Jul 2009

Today’s random twitter poem is about a chef presenting a creation that was supposed to bring him fame and greatness, only to realize he made the dish too spicy and instead was embarrassed. This poem inspired by the 11 random words (in blue) provided by my twitter followers below:

@ryjr (immortality), @KathrynVercillo (miscellaneous), @DVDsnapshot (crocodile), @CelebritiCat (sybaritic), @numbnuggets (diaphoresis), @shemah (gourmet), @jeremylewit (trenchant), @AnnEvanston (eucalyptus), @filigreegirl (disgruntled), @dreamsvapor (trepid), @katheesue (predicament)

Culinary Disaster

What was supposed to have sybaritic flavor
a trenchant gourmet treat for all to savor
that would bring immortality to your cuisine
instead became as toxic to your career
as a eucalyptus leaf is to ingest
trepid disappointment leaving you angrier
than a disgruntled crocodile now
as customers suffer from diaphoresis
from the multitude of miscellaneous peppers
a predicament, now causing their mouths to gape
as they start demanding water and drinks
you realize your dish was too spicy
and embarrassment and shame
are your lasting friend

The Chef – Part 2

Misc Poems
23 Oct 2008

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
