The Day She Wore Flour in Her Hair

Neville

The Day She Wore Flour in Her Hair

 

I saw her clearly edged

in golden light,

through sun rays poured

and filtered

through old stained glass ..

She had flour

in her hair and had been

baking bread ..

I simply cannot tell you,

just how hungry

we both then were, that day ..

                You shouldn't fool around while baking, that's how you get Munchkins.
                I felt there was a lightheartedness to this poem. It brought a smile to my face and brightened an otherwise rainy day. It also sparked my appetite. - Phil A.

                  Two birds with one stone eh' that feels like a win win from where I'm typing .. Cheers Phil .. Neville

                • Bella Shepard

                  Sounds like a recipe to tempt the taste buds, in more ways than one. Soft and gentle, it makes one sigh. Lovely dear friend!

                  • Neville



                    The very thought of you sighing, is more than enough, to keep me writing, my very dearest of Bella's .. Neville

                      The poem's simplicity belies its complex layers of meaning, making it a touching exploration of human connection and the significance of seemingly ordinary .

                      • Neville


                        My most sincere and heartfelt thanks my friend .. All the very best of All Good Things are wished for You & yours .. Your literary friend, Neville

                      • Parisab

                        She met your most vital need (for bread) I canโ€™t begin to imagine the power of symbolism-โ€œI saw her clearly edgedโ€ on the (church like) stained glass imagery-I see holy, maternal, and sensual represented by the same woman-This is one of my favorites of your body of workโ€ฆ

                        • Neville



                          How extraordinarily kind of you .. I am most honoured my fine literary friend .. Neville
