#79 of Poetry

Assignment #7/8 of my college Creative Writing Poetry class. This assignment was to write a poem of descriptive imagery about something constantly in our lives, or something that sticks out. I eat A LOT of toast, so here we are.

Toast

The edges are strong but weak

Crumbling into tiny pieces

That scatter across the plate.

Red hot metal burns

Its marks and its heat into

The soft bread

Making it harder

And crumbier

The soft butter

Melts into each pore of wheat

Disappearing and softening

The bread once more

Leaving it soft and golden.
