fresh-baked bread, image by Kim Deslaurier
Bread Haiku
Baking bread my prayer
Thanksgiving and praise to God
for all of His Love
*
Rising smell of yeast
Kitchen filled with warmth and love
Communion with God
*
Knead for six minutes
Hands heart mind meditation
Stories like bread rise
Kim R. Deslaurier taught writing for 20 years, and while her students were writing, she was writing with them. Highlights in her life were receiving a National Writing Project Fellowship, hosting poetry events, and promoting young adult writers through the Young Writers Project. Inspired by her prayer group, daily devotions, and the grace of God, Kim writes haiku every day.
