In the morning,
I crack eggs into a pan.
I stand and watch the
golden suns sizzle in fat.
I want them sunny side down,
The yellow slammed into the heat.
I think of baby chickens,
fluffy, in a delicate shade of spring.
I like my eggs with bacon.
Pink flesh hisses up at me,
juice spitting in my face.
This softness of this this
pig, sweet and honeyed;
burns and cracks.
I think bacon should have
just a little bit of crunch.
My cutlery ever ready.
Hard steel,
stabbing and slicing
through
the sweetness of life.

Good morning Anne Shirley,
I really like your style of writing, you look deeply
into the life of every day things and give them a
creation, as is in this poem.
Beautiful read and thankyou for sharing.
Jenny.

My God, you made me so
My God, you made me so hungry with this I just had to go and make myself an egg and bacon bagel - grilled sreaky bacon of course. If ever food could be made sensual... well, this is it. Loved it. After an opening like...

...how can one not continue. Fry-ups and poetry, such a potent combination.
Yours truly, sunnysideup.
