A great poem from Sandra

Here's another wonderful poem, featuring bread, by one of the Great British poets, Dylan Thomas. Thanks Sandra. Personally I love a bit of 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' this time of year.

Loving the new blog !

 

I like this one by Dylan Thomas.

 

This Bread I Break.

 

 

This bread I break was once the oat

This wine upon a foreign tree

Plunged in it's fruit

Man in the day or wine at night

Laid the crops low, broke the grapes joy.

 

Once in this time ,wine the summer blood

Knocked in the flesh that decked the vine.

Once in this bread

The oat was merry in the wind,

Man broke the sun, pulled the wind down.

 

This flesh you break, this blood you let

Make desolation in the vein

Were oat and grape.

Born of the sensual root and sap,

My wine you drink, my bread you snap.

 

 

Bit of a moody sod wasn't he ?!
