Marmalade in the morning has the same effect on taste buds that a cold shower has on the body- go figure. That being said, the words of your poem are expressive and create wonderful images. Thanks for sharing this fine piece.

Wishing you all the best...
Bill~ .

A very nice poem of a love that is slipping away. Begging for just the bread crumbs. I like the style of your poem and the message it brings to the reader.

Hi Son,

You have written a very nice poem again. I enjoyed reading it too.
I hope you will continue to write poetry because you're very good at it.
They are what I like writing best. In fact I just wrote a true poem about me.
The name of it is "Funny Poem is True" if you care to read it, which would be nice.

Hunger's Origins

1
fermenting scent of bread
wafting promises
of crumbs to be fed
after slow rise and kneading...

leavened concoction
baked to
to perfection

< > < > < >

2
snippets of Shelley
murmured at random
neath parasol shelter;
poetic seduction

< > < > < >

3
morning serenade;
whispered breath
brushing through sleep's
tousled locks

< > < > < >

delicious escapades
sweet as marmalade

    yea...well...I dont like you anymore Leinko.........-smile-
reply by Leineco on 09-Sep-2016
    You cut me to the quick :-(
    My search for more inspiration holds no interest?
    And here I thought we had developed poetic simpatico. . .that you liked my poetic repartee.

    some day I'll figure out what I've clearly misunderstood. . .learn to walk that fine line between friendly banter and hurtful misunderstandings.

    Even if you don't. . .I still like you.

Damn your clever hide. I can't review, we just sorta chat. An aggressive Isaak choice (he of gentle). Seminal track from him. "lots of unmade made tender love (delete made). Love that that you don't define "aubade". It's like a challenge. If you don't understand it, stop reading - smile. DJ xx

We should never feel we owe someone love, my friend. I especially like this:

the rest is unsaid heard aubade
in a stroke of genesis nethermost special
holy ghost to poets

Very well written as always, my friend~Debbie

You did it again--a subtle animation in the picture, but movement nonetheless! And your original "breadcrumb bliss" has such a memorable ring to it. The whole poem is an "aubade"! Big hugs- Joan
