Bienvenue

Here is a poem by Jacques Prevert , a well known and popular French poet. I love the simplicity of his work.

Breakfast

He put the coffee
In the cup
He put the milk
In the coffee cup
He put the sugar
In the coffee
With a tea spoon
He stirred
He drank the coffee
And he put down the cup
Without speaking to me
He lit a cigarette
He made rings
With the smoke
He put the ash
In the ashtray
Without speaking to me
Without looking at me
He got up
He put
His hat on his head
He put on
His raincoat
Because it was raining
And he left
In the rain
Without a word
Without looking at me
And me I placed
My head in my hands
And I wept

Write a poem in the style of Prevert with some French sprinkles. Please provide a translation if you are going to use big chunks of French .I look forward to some very varied and interesting poems next week. A toute a l'heure (See you later)

Dejeuner du matin (Breakfast)

Il a mis
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de cafe
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le cafe au lait
Et il a repose la tasse
Sans me parler
Il a allume
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fumee
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder
Il s'est leve
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur sa tete
Il a mis
Son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Sans me regarder
Et moi j'ai pris
Ma tete dans ma main
Et j'ai pleure
