Poetry

[Mara]

Here’s a place to share poetry of yours or of someone else.  I am not a poet (neither am I a painter or a musician, though I enjoy painting and plinking on the piano).  I probably wrote 6 poems in my entire life.  Here is one I wrote about ten years ago.  I post it for our mutual edification and inspiration.

 

Wolfing It Down

To sate a hunger
only known to humans experienced in
starvation
– a particular kind of spiritual undernourishment –
some people,
by reason of a craving for
bread,
asked God to point the way to His bakery.

In that very moment they
caught a whiff of warm bread
fresh from His oven
and,
following this scent to the Bread-giver,
began wolfing it down.

Now, if you are so inclined, share something with us.
