Stark's Kitchen Catastrophe
Tony Stark, with his suit shiny bright, Tried to cook up a snack, late at night. His repulsors went wild, The kitchen was piled, "My tech," he groaned, "needs a re-write!" ©bfa031625 ...

The Culinary Shepherd
In the heart of the kitchen, where flavors collide, You wield your vocation, with passion and pride. Anointed by Heaven, with gifts that you bring, To nourish both body and spirit, you sing. With skilled hands you blend, a mosaic so fine, A feast for the senses, where taste interlines....

The breathing, bare branched tree outside the kitchen window?
She shivers about, tense at the inhospitable world blinds and plexiglass seal frightened creatures from. Rocking from root to root — in front, in back, in the sun’s silhouette, the wind fancies her social anxious, as if her and I were not sustained by the same substance, as if our roads will not diverge. When I learn...

Premium Member First Underground Nuclear Kitchen
Hey buddy, let me tell you what's goin' down. Listen closely, you'll hear the sound of my kitchen, underground. What I'm cookin' is so hot, as it were, you might call it nuclear. I'll make some for him, some for her. I churn out the grub, hot and fast. My cooking's like a firehose blast. As much as I make, it won't last. I...

Premium Member Elegy for a Kitchen Table
The kitchen table was the centerpoint of childhood, a place of gathering, an easel for artworks, battleground for homework and Eden for the creation of lifeforms moulded from plasticine. It was the Formica altar on which daily meals were celebrated, a patch of the real, ground zero for tears and laughter and a bench for my mother to cut fabric into shapes from...

The Calendar On That Kitchen Wall
That calendar on the kitchen wall marks another crisp January's windy morning, it has brought in slowly-moving clouds, what has passed is part of evident oblivion... unless one remembers what did unfold: tragic days for most, nothing good to toast; more hungry mouths that beg for food, a terror-stricken street with deadly screams: New Orleans was the target of an assassin! Stay...

A Space Beyond the Kitchen
From a home, where loud, yet weary voices reign My voice echoes like a Whale in the Atlantic squeaks; For a space to yield in, Perhaps, to seal a better space. Never again shall the kitchen be my only place! Yesterday, Mama didn’t dine with the nobles; But like an ancient maiden, she cleaned Caesar’s...
