writing a poem is much like preparing a *** of jollof rice
the paper, the ***
the pen, the fire

rice-like, each word is chosen carefully, the main ingredient in poetry's dish
seasoned softly with rhymes and rhythm and stirred around into stanzas
a pinch of wordplay, the perfect spice

writing a poem is preparing a *** of jollof rice
They share the same secret, moderation is key, in art and recipe
a good poem is a hot plate of jollof rice
