Wow! This is poetry, poetry shaped by imagery. Your use of figurative language goes beyond the search for e]resemblances, it's now an expression of shared identity.

What matters is the poem takes the reader/listener on a flight of the imagination. That's what this one did, and your other poems too.

There is nothing like sharing breakfast with your partner Linda, and your poem is a perfect picture of what loving is all about. Thanks for sharing it's beauty and hope with one diner alone. 10 from Tai, never giving up on him or hope.
