musings over my coffee cup

inspired by Corset in general, and two of her poems -- Providence, and this one http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Corset/1801615/

mysteries
over a coffee cup
stir my spoon
speaking quietly
I have to listen
to really
hear them
by fleeting
softness,
I have to open
wide my eyes
to see ...
visions
what the
universe
is trying
to tell you
might not be
what you
believe.

I feel like there's an underlying message in this, but since I'm terrible at interpretation, I'm not even going to try to interpret it...but don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading this poem.

Sometimes, I read poems that I feel more than I understand, and this is one of those. I can't really tell if this just represents your imagination/thoughts as you hold a coffee cup or if there's more to it than that. Either way, I enjoyed this piece. I felt like the flow was very nice, and the short line breaks really added a dream-like feel in my opinion. Also, I felt like the virtual lack of punctuation really created a stream of consciousness. Well done.

Thank you. I was inspired by both Richard and Corset, whose works couldn't be more different.
