Breakfast, or: Afternoon

A ‘Shadorma’

I teach my
child to think about
words; to break
them apart.
I say, "Breakfast is 'breaking'
your 'fast' when you wake."

My child bursts
with unexpected
insights. One
morning, at
breakfast, she exclaims, "after-
-noon is 'after' 'noon'!"

‘What do you see’ Prompt #161

For Sadje’s weekly #WDYS prompt, she offers this photo of a table set with food, mostly breakfast dishes, and coffee. In the photo, hands are reaching towards food.

We are to use this image as inspiration to produce art.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
