The scent still lingers
the aromatic pleasure
herbs mingled lightly
with the joy of bread
still warm from the oven
it calls out softly to me
seeking to be taken
savored and enjoyed
I feel the warmth
as I hold it in my hand
butter melting smoothly
adding to temptation
fresh baked herb bread
with oregano and basil
distracting my attention
from the rest of the meal
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Hummmmmm
ReplyDeleteOkay, well, I'm on a carb-free diet. Can I consider this torture? I'll take the herbs and add it to my.....salad and turkey.....sighs then smiles wanly.
