In the kitchen the cookbook is closed Creating by taste, by feel and by mood Likewise, concoctions poetic composed The mind into cosmos, the senses conclude If not to my taste, then empty me why? For empty is all and nothing is more Rule out the forfeit and rule out the lie The mind creates wonder not yet written for In rattle or riddle or subtle subdue Creating in simmer, in simmer For what must come forth most likely will do The soup warm to nourish not primer In the kitchen the cookbook is closed By art is the subject, the wide-eyed expanse The pen and the pallet twin born predisposed The soup that is made feeds the broad circumstance Copyright Kkh 7/10/03 |

Nice poem. Don't be discourage when you don't get a lot of replies. That should encourage you to just try harder! This poem is making me hungry. |

Absolutely love the rhythm of this and the language you've used to weave your concoctions. Well done!But not so well done that it's become tough and dry...it's just right! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
