Breakfast Venues

(playing with words)

river fishers sleep

grebes, in early morning sun

heads nestled on their breasts

they float on mirror glass

unconcerned

i do not begrudge them

their dreams, they need them

for when they wake

breakfast is in a dive

below surface

dearest Chris… diving for breakfast would be a “Wake-up call”! It is the same for us as we try to wake-up and Perk the Coffee… perhaps some Bagels and lochs…. Good Morning and May your days on the River bring you Peace and 💗 Love… tenderly, Pat

I like the flow of this poem. It gave me something new to learn: Grebes. I enjoy poems that offer uniqueness like this one.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you for reading. Your response very much appreciated.

I've never seen a grebe up close, but if this is how a grebe acts this is definitely interesting!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you for your response. Yes grebes are the divers of the river. Interesting to see them in action. They dive beneath the surface and can spend sometime there before surfacing with a fish or two.
