Charles Reese Poet Rhyme

Cooking a Science and An Art

Cooking is a science and an art
That allows you to have these two in one
That when done just right is so smart
It also can be so very fun

You don't need tubes or brushes
A pan or dish will do just fine
You can serve a meal with fine touches
Like a glass of your favorite wine

Let's bake or broil but do not burn
A dash of this and a pinch of that 
Get creative it's how you learn
Just make sure it's lean not fat

New recipes you try now and then
Some will be your own creation 
If it's chicken, then use a hen
When glazed it is a fascination

Now for dessert what shall we do
Perhaps you'll make something great
I recommend souffle for you
Don't let it fall for heaven's sake

You'll have the neighbors over soon
To show off your skills oh so true
The date will be sometime in June
For them you'll make something brand new

L Milton Hankins June 3, 2022 at 11:28 AM Charles, I like this a lot. The creativity you show with cooking applies equally to writing poetry, as far as I'm concerned. Good luck in the contest. Charles Reese June 3, 2022 at 9:18 PM I agree with your statement. They both require creativity but also the rules are very important as well. When I learned the rules to structured poetry my poems became much better because I stopped using filler words and tried to make each word have a purpose. I truly believe though that the styles that are your favorites reflect your personality.

Natasha L Scragg May 29, 2022 at 11:29 PM Hi Charles, yes this is great for the contest. The theme is food and activities merged. And cooking is a daily activity so it meets the brief. Hope this helps if you do decide to enter it. You asked me to let you know. All the best. Charles Reese May 30, 2022 at 4:02 AM Thank you for letting me know. I have entered the contest.

Jenna Logan May 29, 2022 at 6:13 AM Such fun it would be to cook with you, Charles. Honey-glazed chicken breast, rosemary roasted potatoes, Ceasar salad, and souffle', of course! I'll bring a bottle of Chardonnay! Jenna Logan May 29, 2022 at 7:19 PM Sounds like a plan! Charles Reese May 29, 2022 at 11:40 AM Thank you for the review I'm glad you liked it. That meal sounds even better than mine. With you my dear I'd love to dine.

Connie Marcum Wong May 28, 2022 at 9:59 PM This poem reminds me of my husband who loved doing most of the cooking. He was creative and always made even the plainest food appealing. I enjoyed your poem very much Charles. I bet you are a terrific cook. Blessings xxoo Charles Reese May 28, 2022 at 10:17 PM Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
