Stir-Fried Poetry Writing

I sit to write, but first I put some oil in the pot. Ideas need to simmer and I have a lot. Red peppers and some celery I add in for some crunch. Into the pot they go sliced up; it’s quite a bunch. Some lovely water chestnuts, oh I want those too. Ideas I can munch on . . . a can of those will do. Carrots also. Chop, chop, chop – then into the pot I throw them in as well. Things are getting hot. Yes, imagination’s heating up so fine. I want a poem on which a reader wants to dine Onions I must add as well – so savory and wry!. Sauteed in oil, they’ll not make anybody cry. All my thoughts I’m stirring up. Oh they’re smelling great! To add in all the spices I can barely wait. For substantial content, I stir in something nice: my major theme, which would be a lot of cooked brown rice. I stir and stir my cooking thoughts, veggie words so bright. With the spices I like best, it’s sure to turn out right. Metaphors to season all is the yummy soy sauce. Turmeric and garlic salt will really get across the flavor of my mixed ideas, Oh, and for the last, I crack some eggs – the final touch for my grand repast. My stir-fried rice with eggs cooked in will give it tasty fun. And now I quickly serve it up. Voilà, and I am done. May 12, 2022

I didn't know that nourishment was something entertaining. You make me glued to eating food while others are abstaining. The onions and the garlic are the way to do it right. The chimney pot you stirred a lot to win my appetite. Your poetry is pleasantly a point of true reflection. A stir-fry way that people say is born of true perfection. Congrats on your placing. Loved it. Bryan

Hi Andrea this is similar in its theme to one I did years ago..' btw I'm mad busy but will Shoehorn in that bi-alouge write to you it just Needs a tweet at one point (so it makes sense) At an interjection you make suddenly..' At a tangent to the other lines..I shall leave it And you there for now.. So God bless you I've Got to go.!
