I’m not good at cooking, 
But I am at hoping 
That the cuttings of onions 
In half-full mugs 
Will come back to 
Give me another chance.
Hi, Mic, I got a strong image of the cuttings and grief, rebirth and second chances. The title is a bit wordy.

I think L5 is weak, "back" would be a stronger break, as would a switch to "onion cuttings".
Not sure if the second chance could be implied or switched to an image or left as is.

As your poem is one sentence I'm curious as to why you used all the caps.

Thanks for posting
