The African Cooking Pot
THE AFRICAN COOKING POT –
A POT OF POETRY
POEM:
Placed on the warm ashes of the fire which seems to
slowly die away whiles daylight dies
this is how I gain my strength
In the distance is the odour and fragrance
of the infusion of smoke from the wood, burning oils,
seasonings and all that had been placed in me
to accomplish a goal
Moulded out of clay and carefully baked to enhance
and strengthen my features and beauty
the older I get, the tastier is all that is placed in me
At the stroke of midnight a new day begins
Morning comes and the preparations begin
The odour and fragrance gradually seeping through
the walls and layers as the touch of the burning fire
ultimately enhances all which has been placed in me.
