#79 of Poetry

Assignment #7/8 of my college Creative Writing Poetry class. This assignment was to write a poem of descriptive imagery about something constantly in our lives, or something that sticks out. I eat A LOT of toast, so here we are.

_Toast_

The edges are strong but weak  
Crumbling into tiny pieces  
That scatter across the plate.

Red hot metal burns  
Its marks and its heat into  
The soft bread  
Making it harder  
And crumbier

The soft butter  
Melts into each pore of wheat  
Disappearing and softening  
The bread once more  
Leaving it soft and golden.
