Day Three

"Today’s prompt (optional, as always) asks you to make use of our resource for the day. First, make a list of ten words. You can generate this list however you’d like – pull a book  off the shelf and find ten words you like, name ten things you can see from where you’re sitting, etc. Now, for each word, use Rhymezone to identify two to four similar-sounding or rhyming words. For example, if my word is “salt,” my similar words might be “belt,” “silt,” “sailed,” and “sell-out.”

Once you’ve assembled your complete list, work on writing a poem using your new “word bank.” You don’t have to use every word, of course, but try to play as much with sound as possible, repeating  sounds and echoing back to others using your rhyming and similar words."

Bake

Yesterday the yeast fed
Lively it rose last night
Dough-flow to new height
Today tasked to make a feast
of lumpen bread.

Hands labor hours over
Sour hunks of gluten flour
Drunken supple knots
Stroked into elastic shape.

Egg with water offers shine;
Singular cuts breathe steam.
Loaves emerge glowing golden
From the oven's heated realm.

Crunchsome and crisp
Pale crumb within carved crust
Ancient stay of hearth to table
Still deep with heat, we eat
Proferring praise.
