Poetically Tasteful

The challenge was straight-forward enough. 'Write a poem that involves a sequence of events or steps - such as a process, a recipe, instructions, or anything that could only happen in a certain order.'

I am not a poet and am far more comfortable in the world of prose. I do think, nevertheless, it's good for me to wax poetic every so often - good for my writing skills and good for my desire to ignore occasionally the rules of grammar.

So I offer my response to the challenge and ask that you be kind but also be critical, please. It's how I grow.
