Fresh Bread
Everybody needs someone who bakes fresh bread for them. There is no better iloveyou. You can keep your flowers and cards!
a warm blanket
whispering i love you into my nose
tantalising
treasure dug from the oven
shiny, golden
impatient waiting for it to cool
heat in my hands
tearrrrrrrr
springy, light
one whiff, I'm back
homely clitter clatter
gentle thunk thunk of crockery on a wooden table
bubbling soup
sibling whine,
"but I don't liiiiike"
big red oven gloves
"careful! don't touch this pan!"
dunk, swirl
bite
rich savoury
mmmmm
happy tongue
happy belly
full, warm, content
pelting rain against glass
oversized sweater
and overlaying it all
around and between and under
the smell of fresh baked bread

Staff of life and great poetry. Well done and really excited my senses
Uber-cute & creative! Well done!
Just found this and now I want fresh home made bread. You poem brings to mind a warm house and lashings of butter and honey!
Preach LC!!!! This is everything I needed right now! I am ready to settle in for a nice rainy day with some fresh bread and some homemade honey chive butter! I can smell fresh bread as I read your poem, way better than any other gift! Fresh bread, all day! 🍞💜
My tummy is growling, lol! Such a good smelling poem!
I had to follow the link to the recipe, because I was sure I'd already commented. This poem is the perfect companion piece!
Oooh, this was delicious. I tasted the warm, salty and buttery goodness. Soo well done! :)
Oh bread, you sweet and simple delight. I could taste and smell this delicious little poem...could even feel the bread tearing between my fingers, being dunked and savoured. This is how you write a sensory poem! Well done!
Oof there really is nothing else like fresh bread. Lovely work 👏
The labor is worth the pleasure to witness the migration to the kitchen table where momentary reverence quickly shifts to the ripping and tearing of my art. Then I’m happy. Love your poem 🥰
Nice , just after I have had toast with Rhubarb and Ginger Jam
This is like an advert for bread! Sign me up immediately for delivery. 🥰
That was just so very cruel! I'm hungry and fresh bread is my downfall- arghhh! Nicely done L.C. 😁
From one bread baker to another: beautifully done!
That was IMMENSELY comforting! Now I need some bread. So visual and well done, pleasing all the senses!
