Autumn Early Morning

honey rays sunbeams
enter through window
old oak tree's leaves dance
squirrel run up trunk
mate sits on back fence

feel recliner
yorkie silk hair
porcelain cup
forced vent warm air

news station
dog barking
ears ringing

coffee
bacon

eggs

You end up with breakfast menus. I only take tea, one slice of bread, and plenty of poisonous pills. Hugs.
