emotions with toast

emotions with toast

 

 

 

you were once blond deliverance

and i a muckraker poet of college descent

trying to get a decent education

but descending into an abyss

of circumventing lectures

 

you served me breakfast

at the cafeteria with your hazel smile

and my heart longed for scrambled

six days a week,

we embraced on Sundays

 

and my grades found cushion

in my fall of you

Bells swished in spring winds

kisses made clouds blush

crimson rain fell joyously

 

and then the books closed

i had a few torn-out pages

left for posterity

thought about you from time to time

 

but never touched scrambled again.

Amazing how our emotions are linked to places time spaces tastes - the senses that control life and the heart- 🌹

You are welcome my friend.

This is great, because, there might have been ten other students walking by. But the girl in the cafeteria is worldly wise and works in the real world. But you just can't go up and order anything, you need her opinion on the food to get the conversation going if you're going to ask her out. Bet that was a great day.

Truly one of your sparkling best! Love the play on similar word sounds & the imagery bringing back old memories for me, too. I'm catching some strong nostalgic waves on this website lately . . . must be that winter melancholy setting in. Love the lighthearted tone of this one . . . your young narrator is not yet so jaded on his path, I guess! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

evidently there was a time when breakfast was without doubt the most important time, if not the most important meal of the day... you have created a little masterpiece here jacob and one that many will certainly relate to, one way or another... I prefer mine two at a time, fried and sunny side up these days.. but hey.. dont tell the wife... :) Neville

[jacob erin-cilberto]

okay, Neville, won't tell...:)

thank you,
