Fantastic metaphors. :)

Yes, !!!

A great metaphorical

lil trip into the kitchen of life~

I loved the aromic feel, taste

of this simmering poem.

Just brings to life the everyday

things we all must endure,

to get to where we want. ~

Great Painting of life ~

I like the metaphor and analogy of 'garlic' in this poem. Reconsider your lack of capitalization with your punctuation; it doesn't make sense to use one without the other.

I'm fine with the punctuation but lack of caps. ee cummings did it. I write some of my poetry that way. It gives it a more casual feel, in my opinion. The content of the poem is great.

Had to come back and read this again;

a bit different from the usual;

but then, so is life;

an excellent metaphor here,

the conundrum of life.

I like this though not quite certain why. The second verse could stand alone

Great job Jenna. Makes me want to examine some of the things I've prepared over the years

I love garlic, and I eat a lot of it. I cut down the garlic breath by eating Strawberry Yogurt afterwards, as Yogurt will diminish the garlic breath smell in the back of your mouth. Your poem is second to none in telling the truth about life in general. Very very good!
