Taste

A delicious-looking meal

A delicious-looking meal (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A taste upon my lips
A sweet nectar of the soul
A tantalising flavour calls
To consume this pleasure whole

From the first moment of delight
To the last morsel on the tongue
We renew our nature’s source
From this feeding we’ve begun

The epicurean avows
That through food our soul is born
So the best of recipes
From life’s pages must be torn

And I surely will attest
To sweet nature’s bounty blessed
And to you, my welcome guest
I serve only of the best.

    Look at all that sushi, I can definitely eat that whole plate all by myself!

    When I make sushi, I tend to make a lot. For the four of us, we usually eat through 100 sushi easily! I guess you can tell I like sushi, huh? 🙂
