A Poem about Rice

Plain rice…Garlic rice…
Balls of rice…All kinds of delicacies of rice…
You can eat it with fried eggs fresh from the poultry’s bounties…
There’s also those rice porridge and casserole varieties…
Arroz Caldo, Arroz Cazador, Arroz con Perdiz, Lugaw, Okayu, and Congees…
It can even be made to be sweet tasting special delicacies…
Rice Cakes, Rice Tamales, Suman, Chimakis, and Onigiris…
A lot of different rice delicacies…
A lot of different rice varieties…
Simplest than all there is to be…
I never get tired of this simple recipe…
Steam cooked rice, how to cook it? Come see…
Add 3 cups of water to that…
Light up the stove and set on top the pot…
Close the lid and open it not…
Till all water dissipates to steam that is hot…
That’s steam cooked rice for you in a pot…
For pressure and steam are responsible for rice grains expanding…
As chemicals in rice break down and start bonding…
Rice cooking is where chemistry and physics are both acting…
Steam cooked rice is my all time favorite rice delicacy..
Served steamy, somewhat sticky…
Never coarse and always juicy…
White as the clouds and oh so fluffy…
Steam cooked rice is just oh so yummy…
Just to produce these wonderful miracle called rice grains…
Patience, hard work, and love are the origins of these grains…
So let’s not take for granted the value and quantity of these cute little grains…
For in a bag of a kilogram, there are an average of 36,590 rice grains…
And in a sack of 50 Kilograms, there are 1,829,500 rice grains…
Balls of rice…All kinds of delicacies of rice…
This is a poem that is all about rice…
"Arigatou. Okawari kudasai? Thank you. More rice, please?"

That Star, My Senses…

That Star, My Senses…
What I feel when I see you…

The Brightest Star in My Sky is You...
Oh Star!
You shine so bright upon me!
It’s you I see while i lie down in the lawn of this mountain’s tree.
When will I you see fall down on me and be close to me?
Seeing you is like seeing sunbeam twinkling morning dew to me!
Oh Star!
In the deep deep dark you wonderfully spark!
You shine like the buzzing firefly in the park!
I wanna hear you singing in the dark!
Seeing you is like listening to a singing lark.
Oh Star!
In the fragrant scent of my summer nights,
I wait for everyone to turn off their lights.
So, I could see you better from this mountain’s heights.
Seeing you is like smelling butter-melt rice on my mornings’ breakfast rites!
Oh Star!
You are so bright and trippy!
You twinkle like a gem so pretty!
You are like a mint candy that’s oh, so minty!
Seeing you is like tasting sweet and smooth honey!
Oh Star!
You are so shiny and so lovely in the skies!
In this warm tropical night your shine is cooling in my eyes .
I wanna feel your cool under the night skies!
Seeing you feels chilling like inside glowing magical ice.
Oh Star!
As you slowly fade away at dawn…
As Dawn shines it’s lights on this mountain’s lawn…
You leave me feeling of missing you for another day that’s oh so long…
Seeing you fade away i feel is just oh so wrong!
