School for Chefs

Come meet a chef who

ogles his food.  He 

opens cans with his thumb and

knows nifty tricks for

icing cakes and 

never does he

go hungry.


       Can you read this poem in one breath?  Can you hear the marching rhythm?  I recently read African Acrostics by Avis Harley and it reminded me what a fun form acrostics can be.  I started this poem to spell "cook" because my husbands Cook's Illustrated magazine is sitting on the table, but as I wrote the poem, the four letters didn't let me tell enough of a story.  Now, I'm thinking this chef would make a great character for a picture book.  so have fun today taking words and trying to write your own acrostics--who know where the journey might take you.  Have fun.  Happy Sunday.
