NaPoWriMo - Day 20

 Day 20 - write a sijo. This is a traditional Korean poetic form. Like the haiku, it has three lines, but the lines are much longer. Typically, they are 14-16 syllables, and optimally each line will consist of two parts or ideas.

Bread

Arthritic hands knead the heavy rye dough. The yeast is old.
No apologies - The bread is better this way she says.
The loaf is chewy and warm. It tastes like my childhood.
