O Nel Roux

I hear soft footsteps, after I rang the bell,
              I was wondering to whom it belonged.
                    As it sounds very graceful.
               The door opens, and there she is.
                    A ray of sunlight invites me.

                 Her eyes were the first I noticed.
                  Alive with a thousand smiles.
                A mouth that greets a perfect appreciation.
                 Accompany by a fresh crisp voice,
                    Whispering like a water spring.
              Hands that know how to give a comforting hug.
                        When she welcomes you.

                    “Hello I am O’nel”, please have a seat.
                  What beautiful sunflower sits in front of me?
                       Raw and graciously like South Africa.
                  Her heart and warmth present my motherland.
                   Our conversation was in our mother tongue.
                Her presence made me feel comfortable and at home.
                     Between, us there was no race diversity,
                         We were only two human beings.

                  Her fragrance was not only of expensive perfume,
                            But aromas of faith and humanity.
                       Her laughter is angel bells I could not help,
                                  But feeling overwhelmed.
                                I come to know my beautiful host,
                                      With the name O’nel.

Premium Member Vincent and Paul

It’s fall of 1888, the south of France,
In the verdant fields of Arles,
Two artists shared a single dream,
And so began their quarrel.
Vincent paved the way for Paul
With bold sunflower sprays.
Paul dissembled, stating plain,
“More practiced effort pays.”				
“Don't smile before December,”
Said the mentor to his charge.
And the student pegged his better
As a bon vivant at large. 
So, their tenure at the Yellow House
Grew troublesome and dark.
Their artists’ shared collective
Strayed a long way off its mark.
Dry and cold, the Mistral winds
Spread madness like a plague,
To infiltrate poor Vincent’s mind,
Whose memories grew vague.
Mania, delirium, anxiety, and fear,
Climaxed when the voices told him,
“You don’t need that ear!” 
He’d heard no praise, regardless.
Dr. Rey used his sorry portrait
To fix his chicken coop. 
Then Theo got engaged,
And Paul sailed away to Tahiti.
Now time’s become history,
And that paint smeared canvas,
Nailed to a chicken coop 
Means to claim a hefty sum.
And Le Fou Roux lies cold in his grave,
Unmindful of the legend he’s become.

Premium Member Black Hat

“My Deepest Passion”,  is just three cuisines away
For over forty years, cooking in a restaurant, my forte
I can do an “Ice Carving” of a swan landing in a lake
I can start from scratch and build a five tier Wedding Cake

I’ve used exotic spices, from a hundred different lands
Pick fresh produce from a garden, I’ve never opened cans
I have Saffron flown in from India at $180 a gram
Escargots from Niece, France; where I also order lamb

With whisk in hand; a frying pan, a little wine and roux
I don’t believe there’s a creamy sauce; I don’t know how to do
I love to teach my students the beauty of Culinary Artistry
At Graduation they start their careers and take a part of me

Three cuisines, to master, to become a “Black Hat Chef”
But ill health is telling me I don’t have a lot of time left
From a short order cook to a teacher of the Culinary Art
I Live my dream, a dream that is deep within my  HEART

As Executive Chef of a five star resort for the past eleven years
“My Deepest Passion” has kept me going as my retirement nears
Three more cuisines and I become “Black Hat Chef” number eight
The third in the U.S.A. a life long dream come true; if that should be my Fate

Inspired by Amy Green’s Contest “ My Deepest Passion “

Festival Carry Over

he did it for the love he thought he'd receive
it's not hard to believe
they made it so all could
understand
better yet, a future
created in endeavor
don't say she's clever
she finds it hard to be real with a man
yet sum would say
cause they know the outcome
their positions refuses to allow them to
support him in a relationship
look beyond their reasons
and the silly  they believe in
maybe then you can get a gleams' of what he feels
love is, for lovers
loving and understanding
creative understanding love

take all the racks outta the stove.
I want to get the food ready for
the
"after festive Jamboree!"

get me that ole big pot in the pantry.
I got four chickens, a pork roast, and a half a brisket
in the freezer, and I aint cooking no more until
all this food is gone!
6 yellow bell peppers, 8 chopped onions, 1/2 cup of garlic
1/2 cup of shredded ginger roots. 1/4 cup of cayenne pepper
put the brisket, chicken pork and veggies in the pot, sprinkle on
sum salt, some black pepper, cover with some foil.
put it in the oven and come back five hours later and we can eat!
I boiled some potatoes, and got some black-eyed peas, and rice.
got my roux waiting, to make gravy, got cabbage cooked and ready. the hock meat is minced and ready to sprinkle!
mash them potatoes serve up some roasted sweet potatoes, and dinner is ready!

Premium Member LADLE OF SOUP

Words dissolve in a simmering pot~
not soup, but something more.
Each ladle releases a new verse,
a flavor never before tasted. 

Some mix their sorrow as deeply as a roux,
while others scatter hope like coarse black pepper.
A smidgen of resentment bitters the broth
while laughter improves the brew.

I bring my scraps, my burnt-edged rhymes,  
my half-chewed thoughts still warm.  
The pot absolves the awkward lines,  
transforming them into poesies.  

And when the steam has filled the room,  
when my tongue is tinctured,  
I leave not fed—but changed, undone~  
with someone else’s hunger inside.
