Breakfast in Krakow

Neville

Breakfast in Krakow

 

For a moment or two,

I watched her

from across the table

opposite me

and there leaning over

her shoulder,

I saw a vision of some

young woman

whom I used to know

so well indeed ..

Indeed on that singular

occasion she

was smiley and golden

which clearly

reflected, in the deep

yellow yolk of my

breakfast eggs benedict ..

    This is another one of your subtle masterpieces that one has to read several times to get the beauty of. This to me holds minds visions of time past, a happier time, a young love bright now grown older. It has that warm cheery feel to it. Very satisfying my friend. So good to hear from you.

            The essence in a woman that many share.....I know...

            More than glad to know you haven't given up on this meeting place, Neville.

              Cheers .. I shall never consciously give up on MPS Dave but sometimes, things just get in the way .. Hope you are behaving yourself sir .. Neville

                Trying, Neville, trying..... Have a quick survey over a few past posts and deliver your verdict...
