I'm so afraid of this kind of commitment that I don't even want to title these posts as napowrimo.

For the Day 6 prompt on ReadWritePoem, by we are supposed to converse with an image.



these couplets will not be heroic
(nor even couplets)
but her clay fingers,
gripping the clay she has formed and fired
to contain the coffee she has ground and brewed
to be a chaser after the eggs and toast she has cooked and served
to nourish us, are.

Lovely photo- and lovely poem. Celebrate the quotidian, for in these things lie greatness.
