It might be awhile

The learning process takes time.

Cooking has went along for a few decades,

 and seems to be going well.

No deaths have been reported.

Writing.

Now,

 that is a different story.

Still no fatalities,

 at least as far as I know.

I am constantly learning.

To express your world in simple words...

This takes practice.

With time,

 I might get it together.

Not going to set a time limit,

 but maybe when I hit the hundred year mark.

Then,

 I get to continue.

Both humour and I sense a little frustration in your lines. The art to good writing is reading. Read, read and read other poets. It's only when you can start to recognise good poetry, you can start to write it yourself. Keep practicing. I have hundreds of half unfinished poems. I keep them all, because one day, I might need them.

Sometimes the words flow.
The frustration is part of the act of writing.
If you grow complacent,
the words lose a feeling.
Part of the reason I laugh at myself.
Sometimes,
I manage to get it right!

That sums it up I think for all poets. Sometimes we get it right, and sometimes we don't. Having a sense of humour helps.

I am still a young immortal.
Glad you liked it!
