    About this ebook

    A selection of poetry covering a variety of topics which range from heartbreak to humor, love to loss, redemption, remembrance, and rebellion. Purposely presented without definitive grouping of the poems, "Breakfast Anytime" is designed to make the selection a literary and emotional buffet.

    The poetry is written in three voices - male, female, and gender neutral, creating poetry that may be enjoyed either gender. This variant of "Breakfast Anytime" has been edited to remove poetry of darker or sexual nature and to obscure explicit language in order to make "Breakfast Anytime: Family-Friendly Edition" a delightful read by all audiences.
