The poet&#8217;s use of imagery invites the reader to become a part of the poem. Also, the poet&#8217;s use of food as a memory of home is made alive with his acute descriptions and lively use of words. Food in itself becomes a home one wants to inhabit. I enjoyed reading this poem&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The top 3 winners are entitled to cash prizes of \u20a640,000 ($200.95), \u20a620,000 ($100.48) and \u20a610,000 ($50.24) respectively while all shortlisted poems will be awarded certificates of excellence during the awards ceremony scheduled to hold in April, 2016 in Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The success of this edition of the food poetry contest cannot be overemphasized as it supersedes previous editions both quantitatively and qualitatively. We remain committed to promoting the binary fusion of poetic brilliance and culinary skills for societal good.<\/p>\n<p>All winning poems will be subsequently published on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poetsinnigeria.org.ng\">www.poetsinnigeria.org.ng<\/a>.
