Breakfast in the Bayou


Watching the sunrise

filled with vivid colors

bright sparkles on the water

dancing with each other


In a restaurant

on the bayou

menu options are exciting

fun to review


From the window

birds perch on the poles

then suddenly fly away

destination only they know


Choosing an omelet

a cheese and vegetable dish

glancing at a bird

diving for a fish


An alligator

joins this bunch

content resting in the water

waiting to eat until lunch


Frogs are croaking

viewing the landscape

a colorful creature awakens

a huge bayou snake


Beautiful and serene

sitting on the dock to meditate

becoming one with nature

peaceful in my escape

  1. I live across the street from the bayou here and go to my neighbor’s house to enjoy the views just like in your poem–beautiful and serene. Oh, yes!
