This collection of poetry appeals to coffee and tea drinkers alike, it wakes the senses, appeals to the soul, and invigorates a creative spark before, during, and after reading. A blend of Earth's nature and human nature, Postcards from Breakfast, invites you to connect with everything around you - including a deeper connection with youtself.
Writing short stories since elementary school (and even winning a few school rewards), Sincerely BlueJay has gravitated towards the dynamic diversity of poetry in more recent years. Already having composed four full-length collections and maintained a poetry blog for six years, she continues to bring a strong voice to the table without fail. Not everything will resonate with you today, but tomorrow you may not be able to walk away from the same stanza.
"Postcards from Breakfast" serves up a fresh, unique perspective on storytelling. The flavor details are so vibrant as the author describes coffees and teas, and the emotions are so heartfelt as the author portrays scenes of reflective moments, letters, coping with change, and the satisfying ritual of enjoying a favorite beverage. The illustrations complemented the lyrics in a beautiful way with actions and colors depicting the emotions and energy of the poems.
I found myself chuckling on one page and tearing up a few pages further. So many poems spoke to me, helping reflect emotions I could not verbalize on my own.
The artwork is so fresh! I hunted for images to see what would surprise me next. Each piece felt linked to the words while independently offering so much more.
