The prompt was "write an ode to something you enjoy a lot", and I did just that.I'm not quite sure what food you are describing, but it sure sounds good. Add some punctuation - so it doesn't read like a run-on sentence - and touch up on the rhymes. I like the idea and direction already!
An Ode to Collective Perfection
A thousand flavors to combine
A million more to taste
That blends into a symphony nice line
That ends up in my waist this rhyme at the end of this line seems contrived. food technically doesn't end up in the waist, but i understand what you're saying
A quest to know, to search, to find
The grandest of them all
Encompassed in a golden shell encompassed doesn't seem like the optimal word here. May I suggest sheltered, or hidden?
My will shall start to fall again, the rhyme seems forced here
A dash of hot volcano flame
A mixture of smooth cheese
A coup of beans gives me a smell
That surely taints the breeze is this a bean and cheese burrito with hot sauce? I like what you did with the meter here.
An ancient land yields to us these
Delicious recipes
Yet one thing that they told us not
Which one tastes best to me this last line is a little self-evident for my liking
"A man with true morals behaves the same, whether starving or sated."
