My Stove

With her wicks she’s not weak, Her voice soothes me with great pleasure, Her hands keep me warm when I’m sick, Cooking nice food is a treasure, Spores of bacteria are rendered passive, As the black pot is inflamed and heated, I’m strongly attracted to this lovely eve, As her necklace and earrings are well fitted, Sometimes she can be smoky and naughty, When food is in short supply and stomach empty, Then she likes to paint my aluminium black, I always hate this and try to fight back.

Nice personification, I think a lot of people can relate to the love-hate relationship they have with their stoves. Fortunately, mine is quite well behaved most of the time, haha. Congrats on the win and thanks for this fun read tonight. -G

A very clever piece... marvelous personification sustained from beginning to end. '...sometimes she can be smoky and naughty,' just one of many superb phrases. BRAVO Olusegun! Best wishes, Keith
