Comfort Eating

Inspired by and written for Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – thank you GC and Sue

Love it or hate it, there is no middle ground with the yeasty black nectar of the gods, so I’ll make myself some toasty deliciousness and write

Comfort Eating
Form: Free Verse

Some turn to chocolate
and others to cake
when the heart is aching
I know folk who eat a bucket of ice cream
in the search of solace
but for me none of that is any good
instead
its slices of bread in the toaster
until hot and ready for butter
spread on my old faithful
and top with some scrambled egg
love it or hate it
the choice is yours
but I’m a lover
for Marmite is always my best mate

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.

  2. Oh, I love marmite especially when spread on the partially toasted bread before the addition of cheese.
    I have no doubt I’ll be waking in the morning thinking of a marmite on toast breakfast.
    Thank you Jezzie, for the idea And for joining in with our challenge! 🙂
