Bread and Jam for Frances

• Verses Based on the book’s title: Bread and Jam for Frances by Russell Hoban, illustrated by Lillian Hoban  (prompt at Miss Rumphius Effect)

Bread baking warms the room

And brings the children round

Jam sweetens so the spoon

For us to spread around

Frances, don’t you dally,

Come soon and bring Sally!

Mountain of Dreams -- a Reverso Poem (1st try!)

Mountain of Dreams

There

will always be

that mountain --

Awake! a frozen jewel!

A prize!

Beside the fire,

when I am warm,

I love to dream

I may climb

that mountain of ice

someday.

Someday

that mountain of ice

I may climb.

I love to dream

when I am warm

beside the fire

a prize--

a frozen jewel.

Awake!

That mountain

will always be

there.

Commitment

Dear Trisha @ The Miss Rumphius Effect:
   Last year (2014) I had a falling out with a very dear friend, Poetry. This year I hope to make amends and start by sitting down, Sunday mornings for the Monday poetry stretch.
 Today I am happy to post a response to the Shadorma Prompt.

 Purrfect

Cat napping
on cashmere sweater
kneading dough
the purr low
such sweaters make perfect mats
for elegant cats
