Colors bright, under In the home,
The kitchen lights. Or an eatery,
Oranges, apples, peppers The realm of food
And greens- Transcends time,
All the bounty the Culture, and geography.
Eye has seen.
Cinnamon, sugar;
Salt and pepper.
You won’t find spices
Any fresher.
The aromas of fresh
Garlic and onions…
Meat cooking,
Vegetables stewing-
Infinite dishes
Prepared a thousand ways.
The sharp clang
Pistol-shot bang
Of pots and pans
Used in this wizardry…
The whisk/thunk/chop
Of knives and cleavers,
Changing food
From common to fancy
Through their endeavors.
White clad magicians
Working non-stop,
Their world food,
Mystery, and magic…
Eyes of tuna,
Neck-fat of horses-
Kitchen tomes the
Spell books for all
The courses.
