Poetry Friday and National Poetry Month 17/30: Sourdough

All the Poetry Friday goodness is at
​Molly at Nix the Comfort Zone
​

This National Poetry Month(NPM), I am writing and sharing original poems about food, family and feasts. Sundays will be a day to reshare a poem from the past. A list of links to previous poems is HERE.

Thanks to Laura Shovan, I am back in the sourdough business. Sourdough pancakes, bread and tomorrow, banana bread. There is something to be said about playing with sourdough.

So today, another Golden Shovel poem with a quote from Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

​With bread all sorrows are less.
~Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

we hunker down with
the pandemic blues, a loaf of sourdough bread,
hard cheese, a bold red, all
the ordinary delights to cure the sorrows
swallows are
swooping and diving, for a moment the troubles are less
