Jennifer - Acrostic Poem

An acrostic poem for a girl named Jennifer.  Today these words just flowed out in form of an acrostic poem for Jennifer.

Just share with love what you can give
Enjoy in gratitude whatever you receive
Never doubt the teachings of the holy book
Never give the dark doubts a second look
In the divine light feel blessed when you walk
Father in heaven blesses the truth that you talk
Earthly possessions cannot make us complete
Returning to our Lord gives us bliss which won’t deplete.

Rice and more rice - Poem

Rice, rice and more rice
brown or white or wild rice
good nutrition at cheap price.

Rice, rice why this condemnation
keep carbs in check eat in moderation
rice helps people in many a nation.

Rice, rice you are so easy to cook
soft silky feel and that fluffy look
everybody loves you be a cop or crook.

Rice, rice this my report
you travel the world as an export
you land in my mouth without a passport.

Rice, rice there are many ways to taste you
steamed, fried or ferment to name a few
why do people love you give me a clue.

For your appreciation my dear poet I must thank you
you see God created me just to feed you
bye, got to go with vegetable stew.

Cooking Rice - Poem

 So you want to cook your food
Your idea is brave and thinking good

A man must know to cook for one
Until he meets the special one

Learn to cook by cooking plain rice
It is simple just try to cook once or twice

Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water
Put in the rice and see it grow fatter

In fifteen minutes the rice will be done
Promise to cook next time for more than one.
