Breakfast For One Comments

A painful truth in your poem is much enjoyable.

This is superb, Martin. There is so much pain lurking between the lines. I particularly like your last line. A fine example of 'less is more'. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Succinct and to the point. Descriptive beyond portrait. Adeline

I agree with Fay totally, all the way to... an unforgettabable read. Thank you for sharing :)

So simple, such paucity of word, and all carefully chosen for the effect wanted. A sad and lonely statement... an unforgettable read.

So sad, so lonely, so beautiful.........we are meant to live in pairs. alana

Its some times nice to have breakfast alone, vut not all the time. a nice poem

Very powerful poem made even more so by its perfect compostion and almost painfully quiet understatement. Very moving and almost unbearable with the might of what isn't said...as with what is. Simple chilling imagery that delinetes the loneliness with painfully precise detail and the sharp tang of loss. Perfect poem. love Donall Donall
