Piece De Resistance

The Seconds grew impatient
   As Anticipation aimed its dart
Hope sat erect at the table
   Compliments practiced their parts

Breaths were held as the Chef pirouetted
   The Piece de resistance proudly poised
Triumph on a smooth, sleek glass surface
   To the accompaniment of Merriment's noise

Paradise was but a dimly lit candle
   Beside the Pheasant's brilliant blue flame
Exclamations burst forth midst salivation
   The Proud Bird had earned Highbrow acclaim

So much to admire in this, don't know where to start - but the line that grabbed me is 'to the accompaniment of Merriment's noise' - gotta make this a FAV!
