This is my sixth post, all but one of them narrative poems. This narrative poem is closely based upon the detailed plot of O. Henry's short story entitled "Witches' Loaves." As is the case with all my poems thus far, I have written in four-line stanzas, with specific rhythmical patterns and rhyming patterns that I believe make for a very comfortable, entertaining read. In fact, the only struggle that you, as the reader, will likely have is to determine the surprise ending before it unfolds. This is part of the fun of this type of narrative. It is small wonder that authors such as Guy de Maupassant and O. Henry, masters of the "trick" or "surprise" or "ironic" or "twist" ending - however you wish to term it - are so popular and still in demand despite being Nineteenth and very early Twentieth Century authors. Much of my poetry presented here has been inspired by them."An Order of Stale Bread" has Miss Martha Meacham as its main character. She owns a downtown Manhattan bakery circa 1900, doing enough business to allow her a modest living. She is a very plain middle-aged woman living a very plain existence. One day a customer begins to frequent her shop, and Miss Martha dreams of a wonderful connection with him. There is something odd about him that touches her curiosity greatly: he always orders stale bread and nothing more. "WHY?" wonders Miss Martha secretly. "Can he not afford anything more?" With each visit, Miss Martha's interest in the man blossoms.Who is this man? What explains his actions? Will you discover the answers before coming to the end of the poem?One point of explanation, a definition of terms: Borax and quince seeds is a mix that was once used by women to be applied to their skin to enhance complexion.
