Fresh Poetry Soup, Part II

I like my soup fresh. Not that stuff from cans or dried-up in packets. Soup needs time to simmer ... Releasing savory ingredients from around the world That recipes intend to convey. Impossible to replicate, exactly, As the Chef would want or hope. But sharing is essential. We do the best we can. Expressing our inner selves With a little more of this or a little less of that. Each creation a bit different or something completely new. My taste buds love surprises! So many flavors from every edge of the globe. An Art that will never be extinguished or fade away. You and I are a rare commodity. Thank you for letting me sit at your round table. And you'll always be welcome at mine.
