Today is Day 3 of Verse Love, our Host, Melissa asks us to consider art or an image as our inspiration. My mother-in-law wove Pane di Pasqua, with love, every Easter. It remains a symbol of new life and spring that makes me smile as I make just one, in her honor.
They always sat in a pile on the table
Like the gingerbread man, rather than
Patiently kneaded, woven into perfect
Braids, holding their bright promises of life.
I smile as I walk past the best in town bakery,
Think about ordering just one, while memories,
Of her centerpiece urge me to make just one,
Thinking about her as I knead, weave, and bake
Just one to sit on my table to remember her love, and
The promise of hope needed this spring.
