A Poem for the Weekend Mini-challenge



Breakfast 

I love my wife dearly
She doesn't cook me breakfast

My wife doesn't cook
I dearly love my breakfast

My breakfast loves me dearly
I doesn't cook my wife

My cook loves my wife
Me breakfast I dearly doesn't

- Kim wishes as a Mini-challenge to write patterned on a poem written by a guest lecturer, Wendy Poe, in her class on the uncertainty of a poet.  Read it here, http://frombooksofpoems.blogspot.com/2007/03/uncertainty-of-poet-by-wendy-cope.html?m=1 .  You will see that I could have shown more mix ups  but my story has been told with the four couplets.  Plus I'm writing using my smartphone as my laptop has cratered.
 - Then too I'm readying for my sabbatical and hadn't planned posting for a few weeks.

  1. Hey Jim! Your poem made me smile! Breakfast is the most important meal and sets us up for the day. Four couplets are plenty for a breakfast poem, Jim, and I understand the challenges of writing on your smartphone – I have similar problems with my Kindle. Have a restful sabbatical!
