A Loaf of Bread for Happiness

I made a small and measly gift,
Its wrapped in foil and it sits
Inside a basket with a rose,
the pretty smell will please your nose.
      ~               ~
Its not the greatest gift by far
Its not an iphone or a car
do not assume it will be both
Its one sweet simple home made loaf.
       ~             ~
A large round loaf of homemade bread
With flour topping, and a spread
Of honey lemon in a drizzle, 
Its in a jar placed in the middle. 
        ~            ~
I thought I'd give the bread some bows
A celebratory gluten loaf,
A savory treat, a festive food
A loaf of bread for happy moods.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
