POETRY

Write a small poem about what you had or did not have for breakfast.

An example might be:

thawing frozen iced
coffee, no home grown fresh eggs
just toxic burnt toast.

It doesn't have to be in a haiku style, but the shorter the better.

AS A CHALLENGE:

Write this as an ABC poem--a poem with five lines that create a mood, picture, or feeling. Lines 1 through 4 are made up of words, phrases, or clauses while the first word of each line is in alphabetical order. Line 5 is one sentence long and begins with any letter. You need not start with the letter A.

HAVE FUN!
