FIRST PLACE

time for breakfast  

my cat's tail   

in the headlines                                 

--Yu Chang       

winter breakfast --       

holding my tea       

a little closer

SECOND PLACE

fresh breakfast -   

worm and I   

share this apple                                

--Lee Lawton

THIRD PLACE

 white porcelain -     

over her growing belly     

losing breakfast again                                            

--Laura Young 

BELOW THIRD PLACE

the banana   

and all its bruises--   

silent breakfast                                 

--chuck       

before breakfast       

just hot tea       

and the red-streaked dawn                                                     

...zuiho          

from the hawthorn          

morning birdsong-          

breakfast prelude                                          

--Neca Stoller                

women's refuge                

strangers smell                

each other's breakfast

silver tray          

champagne and strawberries -          

she signs for breakfast

after your goodbye             

a new moon             

and breakfast

mushroom omelette         

lightly browned--         

you sit up in your sick bed                                                       

--Michael Dylan Welch               

summer breakfast           

with fresh blueberry pancakes --           

blue smiles

picking oranges     

reservoirs of sunshine     

instant breakfast

drive-thru breakfast            

coming back            

again and again

a fly falls in   

unnoticed
