I really hate to boast
but when I eat my toast,
I shape the greatest things
like birds with spreading wings,
a giant bumble bee,
sometimes a Christmas tree:
creative works of art
that come and then depart
in tiny little bites.
Such magical delights
begin my every day
in just this special way.

This poem proves poetry can come from any experience, how many of us will be fashioning
some image from our toast tomorrow morning.

I love making fruit faces on pancakes-straberry eyes, an apple slice nose, a smiling melon mouth. Can't wait to see what I can do to my toast this morning. Thanks for the tip. Oh yeah, cool poem, C.F.

For me, it?s just
burnt bread instead.
Enjoyed your poem
as I got out of bed.

This just tickles my fancy. ( and I also LOVE toast). Year twelve was my start in poetry as well, but I fell in love with a place, rather than the boy next door. Love your inspiration.
