with seventies decor
neon diner clock,
chequered linoleum floor.
'Sunny side up?'
'Yes please.'
(it's a chipped melamine plate
but the toast has melted cheese)
Sizzling skillet frying a full Irish*
City people thinking 'I wish...'
Past the skyscrapers they imagine...
They can see the country loam
smell the fields in their food
close their eyes and think of home
*A full Irish breakfast: eggs, rashers, sausages, black and white pudding, brown bread, porridge, toast, orange juice, a tomato, and more of the above
Theme Thursday, where interpretations run amok
{painting: yellow and gold by Mark Rothko}

This was a great take on 'yellow'. :)
Thank you. Yellow always makes me think of breakfast, what with kitchen decor and eggs, and occasionally orange juice
