The Poetry Chef

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



If you ever wanted to be really important
Cook up some mind wondering poetry
Head to a kitchen and do what anyone can't
Create the best chicken cacciatore

Cooking and rhyming come together
Recipes can be written poetically
So every dish tastes like a bird of a different feather
Every poem will be savored differently

    Both a wonderful metaphor and a truth about the act of creating. Thanks for this delicious poem!
