Continental Breakfast
Melted butter with sea salt crystals
dripped down the sides
of hot multi-grain toast.
The smell of cracked wheat and rye
fusing perfectly with the aroma of
coffee made from freshly ground beans.
Occupying the centre of the table

and honey roast cured ham.

BACON BUTTY
The advice comes from everywhere
The 'Spin Doctors' getting bolder
With lots of little anecdotes
To stop us getting older

Breakfast Epiphany

There are days
that songs are stifled
or the throat hoarse and weary
No more do notes glide softly -
raking leaves strewn across
the littered lawn
their butterfly wings
hung up in the wait
for another sunny day.
There are nights
that stars squander
their luminescence
on unappreciative lovers
roaming listlessly by
a moonlit shore
their br...
