Toast with cheese and hot chocolate -- a Poem for Friday Writings #136

 Magaly has invited us to write poetry or prose inspired by Grace Lee Boggs’s (read URL link below) quote, “We can begin by doing small things…”  Lots of possibilities here?

   Twelve little pieces 

Twelve little pieces 
that there should be but, 
Eleven this time 

They have a purpose? 
slathered with creme cheese 
Yummy by itself 

But there's more to come 
Jar, strawberry jam 
Hot chocolate to drink 

Fork does the dabbing 
dabbing and dipping 
smearing white with red 

Yummier now still 
Small things together 
Dainty breakfast comes

Yes, “We can begin 
by doing small things…” 
. .

  6. What you described is no small thing and now I am very hungry for I skipped breakfast this morning ... trying to achieve some measure of intermittent fasting. Creme cheese and raspberry jam on half a bagel for me.
