Of Chefs and Cosmeticians

They ply themselves to sculpting, to fingernails and foie-gras, those crafty cutters, carving, trimming. Creations to delight the senses, a dab of blush or sauce bearnaise, a final glance, she's ready for her audience. Haute couture or haute cuisine they'll grace a page in any food or fashion magazine.

I, too, like the comparison in this perfect verse. Both artists in their own right. You, my friend, in every sense, are a true poet! I don't believe there is anything you can't turn into a work of art! Love, Robin
