 IRISH  SODA  BREAD 

Rough - rugged - Irish Soda Bread -
like the wind swept West Coast of
Ireland - ridges and barren rocks -
the Burren - wrinkled raisins and
caraway seeds - not to worry - cold
butter - and a cup of tea with a friend -
makes smooth the cold of a winter’s day
in mid-December - and while walking
by the family cemetery a sign of the cross
brings soft memories on a winding rocky road.
