Fiction & Poetry Journal of T. Wong

Taste of Success

Gluttony, the sweetest greed
When one does not stuff one full
Of candied sweets or artificial no.5
But to rejoice in a homemade dish
That has finally turned out well
For the bad chef happily consumes
The joy of success

Learning

The quickest way to learn is to taste
The bitterness of your failures
But to also find the successes of each one
An ideal piece hidden among the char
Recalling what created that miraculous feat
And finding that it is no accident at all
