Breakfast Thoughts

Would you like to have some coffee?
It's made out of the fresh beans of love,
And it's aroma is contagious as your breath,
Every sip sinks like the unsinkable Titanic.
But beware!
It might stain your unlovable pristine heart,
O sweetness, O goodness,
Don't drink coffee. 

Would you like to have some french toast?
It's crispy, crusty and mellow amidst 
Just like you, euphoric,
But O goodness, O heart,
It's melodramatic like me,
Don't eat french toast. 

Would you like to have some tea?
It's ravishing and romantic made of roses,
O honey, O lovie, Alas!
The effect might last,
Don't drink tea. 

Perhaps I should fuel my soul
With your sunshine soulful smile,
It's embroidered in my memory,
Mesmerized I am,
Smile! Smile! Smile!

Victor Buhagiar Date: 7/25/2025 5:46:00 AM Your breakfast begins with a beautiful smile. I would follow it with a coffee "stretto" type and perhaps a croissant. Will you join me? Greetings. Login to Reply Anne Winter Date: 7/26/2025 7:06:00 AM Dear Victor, I'd love to join you :)

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 7/23/2025 7:26:00 AM Dearest Anne, what a deliciously whimsical feast of feeling! I thought as I read that it isn’t just a morning offering it’s a lyrical dance between the sweet, the surreal, and the soul-deep. I found myself grinning, then pausing, then rereading aloud just to savor the melody of it all. There’s vulnerability tucked between the laughter, a tug of the heart inside each sip and bite. And that closing stanza? that’s the kind of tenderness poetry was made to carry. Anne, what beautiful, nourishing gift. I’ll never see toast the same way again. Summer Blessings, My Dear Anne, Daniel Login to Reply Anne Winter Date: 7/26/2025 7:05:00 AM Dearest Daniel, thank you so much for truly understanding my poem. Your notes always mean so much to me.

Valsa George Date: 7/20/2025 9:41:00 AM After offering tea, coffee and French toast, it is unfair on your part in advising us not to have them.... :) :) Quite hilarious, Anne. Love the last stanza.
