Foodie Pleiades poetry contest Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

Best when made at home with your two hands, Baked after letting the dough rise. Brings loved ones together as few other foods can. Butter drips off every warm, fluffy bite. Brake and share around your table of friends. Breathe in the scent that brings memories to mind as it bakes. Blessings bestowed by the Bread of life we partake.

I love fresh, real bread. Another gift from a kind Creator. Lotsa B's in this bad boy

Dear Crystol, your pleiades poem flows and feeds the heart and soul so beautifully. You capture the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of baking and breaking bread with loved ones with poetic finesse. Breaking the bread to "share around your table of friends" so symbolic of the Last Supper.. so wonderful to reflect on this at Eater time. A beautiful, uplifting, soulfully satisfying piece. Warmest wishes my inspiring poet friend.. ~Susan

You’re welcome! I’ve been so busy with work and family for the last few months so my time here has been really limited. But I have a bit of free time from work so I’m trying to touch base with my fav poets , like you, over the next few days :)
