Poetry of the Week
This is not a loaf of bread
This is daily sanctuary
This is breakfast in bed
Or beans on toast for tea.This is not a loaf of bread
This is shared community

This is tasty alchemy
This is a gravy soaker-upper
Or a gourmet chip butty.This is not a loaf of bread
This is a crafted recipe
Of sun and rain and earth
And oven-baked poetry.
