Summarize the following:
When you are writing about subjects like darkness, sadness, loneliness, and death, it can be hard not to fall into cliches and familiar language. A cliche is a description that has been so overused it has lost its meaning. Many readers will gloss over a cliche and/or question the poet's creativity when they come across a cliche. Avoid leaning on cliches in your writing and focus on creating more unique and unfamiliar ways of approaching darkness. Try to stay away from cliches like "dark as night", "lost and alone" or "so lonesome I could cry". Come up with more original descriptions and images in your poem, especially when you are addressing dark themes and elements. One way you can address cliches in your writing is to go over your poem and look for any familiar terms or phrases. You should then underline them and focus on replacing certain words or replacing the phrase so it is less familiar and feels more original. Make sure you are using sensory detail in your poem, as this will make the poem come alive and contain descriptions that are memorable. Think about how a moment looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or feels. Use all five senses to create detailed moments in your poem. For example, maybe you are writing a poem about your grandfather's death. You may focus on the smell of the white lilies at his grave or the gray, thin appearance of your grandfather in his casket. You may also describe the food you ate at his wake and the feeling of holding your grandmother's hand at the funeral. Literary devices like metaphor, simile, and rhyme can help to strengthen the language in your poem and add depth to your writing. Try to use literary devices strategically, especially in a shorter poem. Every line should not be full of metaphors or similes only. You should vary up how you use these literary devices so your poem still flows well and does not seem wordy or long-winded. For example, you may use a metaphor to describe the loneliness of standing in the girl's bathroom at school. You may write, "The stalls are blank eyes in the face of this room". Or, you may use a simile to describe the look and smell of the bathroom. You may write, "The floor is as slick as the surface of a lake" and "The sinks smell like rotten eggs". Some poets, such as Rossetti in "Song", also use rhyme in their dark poetry. Rhyme can be useful for adding some levity and lightness to a poem about heavy, dark subject matter. But it can also make your poem sound too sing-songy and silly. Use rhyme sparingly. Once you have written your first draft, you should read your poem out loud to yourself or to a sympathetic audience. Listen for any awkward phrases or words and highlight them. Ask the listener for feedback on your writing. You should also pay attention to any images that are confusing or lines that are not as strong as they could be. Make sure you are not using cliches in your writing. Your poem should use unfamiliar and interesting images and descriptions that are true to your style and voice. You should go back and edit the poem for clarity once you have read it out loud. Adjust any problem phrases or words you identified and make sure you are using strong, interesting language throughout the poem.

summary: Avoid cliches. Add sensory detail. Use literary devices. Read your poem out loud.

Add the rice to a large bowl and cover it with fresh water. Soak the rice for about 30 minutes. Then, transfer the rice to a sieve to strain the water. Wash the rice under fresh running water for a minute. Soaking and washing rice removes dirt and excess starch, so your rice will be fluffy and not sticky. Pour 2 cups (470 ml) or water into a medium saucepan. Put on a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Depending on the type of rice you're making, you may need to adjust the rice to water ratio. Per cup of rice (195 g), use the following water quantities: Use 2 cups (470 ml) of water for long-grain white rice, medium- or short-grain brown rice, and wild rice. Use 1 cups of water (411 ml) for long-grain brown rice or jasmine rice. Use 1 cups of water (353 ml) for medium-grain white rice or basmati rice. Use 1 cups of water (294 ml) for short-grain white rice. When the water is boiling, remove the lid from the pot. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring the water back to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once the water is simmering again, put the lid on and turn the heat down to low. Continue cooking for 18 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of rice. White rice varieties will take around 18 minutes to cook. Brown rice varieties will need closer to 30 minutes. Don't stir the rice or remove the lid until it's time to check for doneness. The rice is done when it's firm but tender and not crunchy. When the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat. Leave the lid on and set the pot aside to rest for at least five minutes. This will help to steam the rice, give it a chance to absorb leftover moisture, and make it tender. You can leave the rice to steam for up to 30 minutes. Fluffing the rice means stirring it with a spoon or rice spatula. This lets excess moisture escape and helps to make the rice plump. After stirring, let the rice sit for another two minutes before serving. Serve the rice as a side dish, add to soups, or add your favorite spices and vegetables to make a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
summary: Soak and rinse the rice before cooking. Boil the water. Simmer the rice, salt, and oil. Let the rice rest when it's done. Fluff with a fork before serving.
