Coffee and Sweet Biscuits

I love classic movies...

Breakfast at Tiffany’s still has a certain

je ne sais quoi…

 

 The coffee is warm

and the biscuits are sweet

and the tiny blossoms in the crystal vase flutter

as the breeze plays a quiet rendition

of the way we were

 

 I’m reminded

of love stories waltzing in timeless dreams

 

And though I never promised you a rose garden

the flowers bloomed

in scarlet red and passion pink

unfolding in your embrace

 

Splendor in the grass

on a summer day

scattering at your feet

on a moonstruck night

 

Only to stir again

on this quiet morning breeze

 

“Winter must be very cold

for those who have no memories to keep them warm

and we’ve already missed the spring…”

 

An affair to remember

 

when the coffee is warm

and the biscuits are sweet

Reviews

[Lydia Shutter]

No one quite as romantic as Holly Golightly when she has the "reds" instead fo the "blues". She knew people had to fall in love to find happiness....and so it shall ever be. Of course then there is my favorite quote of all time from "an Affair to Remember"....."winter must be cold for those with no warm memories." And you, my friend, obviously have wonderfully romantic memories or you would not be able to write such gorgeous love poems. This one is a bit poignant, but the beauty touches me. the classic movies were made way before you were born, but you feel them....and it shows. The artwork you chose to accompany this poem is pure perfection. Loved this. Lydi**

I think I was born at the wrong time Lydi. I can relate to these movies much more than the movies today. The romance, the tragedy, the tears...and then of course the happy ending....Thank you for supporting my poetry Lydi. I appreciate you and your friendship. :) Julie

I think this is now my favorite of yours. I just loved the classic movie references and you tell a lovely story of how memories can be one of our most treasured possessions. I simply adored it. Bravo!

Wonderful Julie...I am that man who has never seen any of these films...I seem to yearn for comedy...But I sneaked a look at Lydi's review and You have woven the magic with this...The join is invisible.....I must say though that the Winter must be very cold quote, is a masterful line

[MsJewel]

It's one of my favorite movie lines of all time Doc - it's from An Affair to Remember. If you love comedies (I do too) you would like Breakfast at Tiffany's! :) Julie

It rolls around often over here...I'll give it a whirl....
