Pancakes and Coffee Breaks

Erica Abbott has observed the world around her as if she was a spy. She has noticed the most obscure behavior and idiosyncrasies that humans display and has put them into poems that communicate the problems of the absurd world we live in. She shares moments of profound philosophical insight that she discovered throughout her life.

Her poems of love, joy, fear, hope, success, disaster and humor are enhanced by beautiful, apt illustrations. Everyday issues that we all face are distilled into a few choice words. The thought, "That's exactly what happened to me." will occur over and over as you read through these delightful poems. Unlike some poetry, which is a chore to read, Erica's poems are easy and fun and can leave you wishing for another verse or more. Each one is a taste of surprise that might keep you reading into the night. If you are not touched by her romantic love words you will need to get a heart. This book introduces a new era in poetry. Something for everyone to read and enjoy and remember as the years pass.
