How is cooking rice a teacher of writing poetry?
No peaking while cooking (while writing).
You can adjust afterwards if too much/too little liquid. You can only edit your words after they are down on the page.
Each kernel to be savored. Rejoice with each letter.
Enormously versatile. Much of world relies on rice.
Much of the world would do well to rely on poetry. Why?
Because while writing or reading poetry, it almost impossible to kill a sister/brother human.

sat the birds who knew no other world
Flying as they did to find food
Their rests were as common as sand
She threw them the fruit and flowers no one had purchased
and they laughed at her and followed her home
She sihed she could see the rest of her family
gathered for supper, present and not untethered far away
