Written for RDP, where sgeoil asks us
to get creative with the word “magnanimous”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s where the prompt took me.

A chef who was truly magnanimous
In a kitchen quite loud and cacophonous
Gave his secret recipe
To his young protégé
With a spirit both kind and gregarious

My sister was a fashion designer, she was always happy to teach and share her secrets. Many people told not to share as she would no longer be important if she shared … She never worried about what they said . She was important …she also always shared 💜💜💜
