Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Bread Glorious Bread

Croissant making
Bread baking
Yeast slaking
Crust caking
Bread

Potato
Pumpernickel
Whole wheat
Enriched white
Bread

The smell of it
You will have a fit
Fresh from the oven
Your Grandma’s apron
Your mother’s way of buttering it
There is nothing more heavenly-tasting in the world.
Bread!

Maurice Rigoler October 8, 2018 at 3:16 PM As a diabetic I avoid all bread with a shell life of more than 3 weeks – in other words, all store bought bread. I do cheat, however, with good pumpernickel, oat, and Ezekiel breads – provided they contain no corn syrup, etc. / M Caren Krutsinger October 9, 2018 at 7:23 AM I am such a bread-eater, that we usually toss out a 40 gallon garbage bag full of the extra bread to the birds once or twice a month. I never know which bread I am going to want when I want it.

Rhona Mcferran October 7, 2018 at 3:41 PM Mmmm. Nothing like fresh bread drowned in REAL butter! ;) Caren Krutsinger October 7, 2018 at 7:08 PM I want to get some Rhodes Bread Dough tonight!

Wendy Watson October 7, 2018 at 9:38 AM Ooh - those glorious smells! I'm afraid that Andrea is right though,Caren. The required syllable count for the contest was 5.3.5. Could you re-arrange maybe and offer a few 'verses' in that format? Caren Krutsinger October 7, 2018 at 1:52 PM Hahaha Rules mean nothing to me. I truly did not see that! I am such a rule-breaker!

Andrea Dietrich October 7, 2018 at 9:29 AM I love this. Nothing like fresh bread with butter!! (I might be mistaken. I was thinking this was a contest for more of those 3/5/3 type poems) Caren Krutsinger October 7, 2018 at 1:54 PM Thanks Andrea. I always get carried away and forget to read the RULES of these contests. I am so glad I have friends who try and help me.
