So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)

Beer Bread

Simple is good
and where we come back.

Mix the dry ingredients,

flour, soda, salt, sugar.

The empty surfaces of
work. Nothing ornamental.

Glass bowl. Stir in the beer,
turning from foam to dough,

and roll it into a loaf pan,
pour over the melted butter.

Bake for an hour in this
yeasty glow, and you know,

you'll smell the gold and
there you go. No grace notes

no riff, just straight melody
and nothing to improve upon.
