Poetry: Help wanted

Help wanted sign posted

In the floury window

Of a small shop

Owned by a talented

Bread maker.

Help Wanted for

Kneading dough

Molding loaves

Into delicious

Dense breads.

The hours are long

The work is hard

Nights are for

Nurturing yeast

So

By early morning

Breads are baking in

Red brick ovens.

Years of experience

Hands of gentle steel

Will guide you

And teach you

Methods centuries old

From relatives gone

Long ago.

Help me grind

Organic grains

Into healthy flour

That will be transformed

Into

Sourdough

Rye or

Twelve grain loaves.

I will pay you enough

To feed yourself and

Shelter yourself.

Riches will come from watching

Loyal customers

Eagerly eating

Fresh

Warm

Crusty breads.

Help wanted

Please apply

Help me

Bake

Savory

Honest

Delicious

Breads.

    Often as we gaze across
    a sea of many faces
    these faces are like open books
    depicting faraway places

    The lines across their faces

    He sat alone on the weathered bench
    Cringing his nose from the foul stench
    That radiated from him day by day
