bringing home the bakin'

D, here is my villanelle on baking. It's a bit awkward.



Cause, try effect for size:
as you sow so shall you reap
and what you knead will rise.

The final shapes always surprise
but come from first beginning's deep.
Cause, try effect for size.

The gentle steady sweet reprise
of pounding dough like counting sheep -
and what you knead will rise.

The wheat knows not family ties
nor past nor future, nor does it keep
cause. Try effect for size.

The swarm of yeast holds anarchies
of growth in dessicated sleep
and what? You knead, will rise.

Fire of oven - potential flies
and lasting form will end its leap.
Cause, try effect for size,
and what you knead will rise.
