Did you know that today, November 21st, is National Gingerbread Cookie Day? I did not but lucky for me that holiday baking is not only one of my favorite pastimes but provided the inspiration for me to create two poems for Rebecca Herzog's challenge. As the host of Poetry Friday this week, Rebecca asked the writing community to compose a poem about a food we feel deserves a special day of commemoration. I chose to honor the gingerbread cookie.
Gingerbread cookies are a delicious confection for the holidays but this year I switched it up and created miniature gingerbread people cookies for my granddaughter's June birthday party.
Today, I am honoring National Gingerbread Cookie Day that celebrates a day of building memories with loved ones with two Buncee poems. I will share these doses of sweet poetry goodness with Sierra because she not only loves to read but enjoys Grandma's cookies.

Flour flew like fairy/dust.
ReplyDeleteSuch vivid alliteration.
Thank you for sharing your buncees and making me want to go bake gingerbread.

ReplyDeleteI love gingerbread cookies, Carol. This is wonderfully sweet! Hope NCTE has been a delight for you!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering with the flour fairy dust and that wide eyed observer watching. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGingerbread cookies! I like to send my Dad a box of cookies for Christmas...so many memories with the molasses flavor. You've brought that to mind. Thank you for the sweetness. Can't wait to see what comes from NCTE. I hope you are having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your buncee poems. And your granddaughter will treasure these memories for her whole life. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite parts of the holiday season is baking, and your poem is making me hungry :)
ReplyDeleteI used to make gingerbread cookies with my students in that last week before winter break. I collected huge cookie cutters. On the first day groups made the dough. On the second they rolled it out, cut out their monster cookies, and baked them. The next day they were decorated. We always made lots of smaller cookies to share with our reading buddies. Thanks so much for your poems and all these memories!
ReplyDeleteNice article as well as whole site.Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYummy, and I bet the cookies are too!
