~just a flutter'd thought...

I smiled in my mind sipping in your words

   coffee in hand, poems warming my intentions

a day without poetry is not my cuppa tea

    so much passion and emotion spilling forth

warmimg pages to be fervently devour'd 

      whets my appetite from within

fills my cup so it runneth over captivated in anticipation...

I see myself reflected back in creamy billows of frothy foam

          fettered in the dark richness of your brew

Languishing in these moments, sharing so many views

    fills my heart with gladness that we have collectively pen'd another day

a poet's ardent soul is meant to be shared and cherished

     like prayers on gentle winds they float en masse on wing'd spirits

I do so on this glorious day as you earnestly

 flutterby...

Yes, indeed, Frieda, a day without poetry is bleak indeed. And a gifted and prolific poet, like you, need never be without a poem.

I see myself reflected back in creamy billows of frothy foam
fettered in the dark richness of your brew

Really beautiful! May your pen never fail to brew delicious cups of poetry.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Joyce, glad you enjoyed this one!

I like how you associated poems with coffee. Both are my favorite pair. :)

[Michael G. Smith]

Lovely piece if I do say so myself. I to somehow enjoy reading poetry each day. I guess that means i'm not a man's man? Ah, who cares, lol.

"i had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee"

very cool imagery in this poem.

[Gleb Zavlanov]

What a beautiful poem with an outstanding theme. I especially loved these lines:

a poet's ardent soul is meant to be shared and cherished
like prayers on gentle winds they float en masse on wing'd spirits

So rich and stunning and plain gorgeous. Great job!

What a beautiful tribute to poetry. To the writer, the reader: those inspired by the wonderful words.
I love this. Trace

I agree Frieda! There's such a need inside to write each day and if I don't write here, it's usually because I am pen and papering lol
This is another gorgeous poem, beautifully worded.

This poem will never fail

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Kleio.

[Emerald Seas]

Beautifully expressed, Frieda! Some days just aren't quite up to speed until we've had our dose of poetry.

I concur Sirrah, thanks so much...
