A Cup Of Kindness

the reuniting of old friends

Lift your glass and sit with me

As stories we color bright.

 

Let us wax the moon and stars

Till the sun brings its light.

 

Your breath of life beats in my heart

And your smile I always see.

 

So with this chance encounter

Sit and drink with me.

Let us wax the moon and stars, Till the sun brings its light.

Not a drinker, but i certainly can envision the moments described in this poem. Like some say, there is nothing like good wine and good company.

A gently flowing piece. Nice work.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you so much

sit and drink with a friend and have a very good time is that what this poem is trying to say

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes, it is about taking time to catch up with an old friend.

[genocide]

yeah I like it

This is a beautiful reminder of so many all-nighters, drinking wine with someone special. You've captured all the essentials in your brief word portrait . . . conjures up so many deeply-hidden longings! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you, Margie. It was fun to make

[Neville]

Tate just said it all Cherrie, what an understated near perfect little gem you have poured for us here. Here's to friends eh' and I'll drink to that..........Neville

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you, Neville :)

[Neville]

More than a pleasure Cherrie...N

I think i love this one best of yours. Simple yet beautiful . I have always believed it is better to use common language in uncommon ways You did well here

[Cherrie Palmer]

I believe that also let the reader dazzle themselves with created images rather than cutting thru a woven mystery of symbolism
And thank you so very much.

Gun toir am mullach os a chionn nach bi sinn a 'tuiteam, agus gum faod sinn a bhith a' cruinneachadh charaidean gu h-ìosal.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Now that's a toast

[Einstein Noodle]

Aye! ;)................

The sentiment is sweet and present but the rhythm of the flow feels off... second and fourth stanzas.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I'll look at the flow, thank you
