Morning

Sitting at the breakfast table, we were spellbound
as our mother worked her magic in the kitchen.
She was like a sorceress in her long robe
dark hair wild and uncombed,
a bright flash of green eyes above a mouth set and determined
Nimble fingers commanded
the tendrils of steam
to swirl out of the cast iron pans
bubbling and brewing on the old stove.
Mouthwatering aromas,
sweet green peppers,
onions and mushrooms,
dark meaty and mysterious,
became a bewitching concoction.
Great slabs of ham, puffs of soft biscuits, spongy pancakes,
brown and crispy on the edge,
appeared as if out of thin air,
and we were enchanted,
as they landed on our waiting plates,
in a dazzling display.

Debbie; This is delighful poetry, you make it all so real that I can taste every bite! Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Thanks everybody!
This was mostly just wishful thinking on my part. When I was a kid, it was usually toast and a couple of eggs! (sigh)
