kids up too early

cranked TV up

LOUD

running up & down

the stairs with nerf

guns

whooping-it-up

you decide it’s time to

MOM UP

and whip-up breakfast

before natives turn

entire

house upside-down;

sssshhhh, don’t wake

~ UP ~

your father now!

 

 

44-word quadrille for dVerse Poets where De chose the word (you guessed it):  UP!

People wake…hungry
Rumbling tummies of children
Ovens to bake bread
V
I
Domestic chickens…
Eggs whipped for morning omelet
Side of potatoes

 

 

In this acrostic senryu, notice vertical word, PROVIDES, and connecting word, OVID (egg).   http://www.centerfreshgroup.com/responsibility/international-partners/

breakfast

image from Carpe Diem

 

morning of wedding
in small town setting
pass the raspberry jam

baskets of muffins
platters of melons
eggs with sausage & ham

under the arbor
of appetite’s ardor
the groom, his men & fam

raise teacups to toast us
(july sun ’bout roasts us)
antique china serves glam!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eleven years ago today, our oldest son married his sweet bride in Corsica, S. Dakota. Our hostess served us a sumptuous breakfast out in the orchard.
