~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...

[Joyce S. Greene]

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!

[Tom]

A cappuccino is always a nice treat, especially so whenever you make it Frieda !

This flows so well from the tongue, brewed by a connoisseur of literal delights !

[Frieda P]

Ah love a cappuccino with you Tom...thanks so much my friend !

This should be the motto of the WC...
Writing poetry is a singular joy - but sharing it breathes essential life into it. This is a wonderful poem, about the need for poems... :) Great one here, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

You said it all in a nutshell there Rita, 'sharing breathes essential life into it'.... I might have to steal that for a poem. ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Cool! :) . .

[TL Boehm]

"sipping in your words" ooh ooh ooh I LOVE that line. also 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 - that's sublime. You know how I feel about unloved poets and poetry.

[Frieda P]

Yeah I do Tam, thanks!

A day without poetry...I understand that. I am a big fan of alliteration and I loved these lines:

[Vani Jalagar]

This is so lovely......you have mentioned about you that "If you want to know me, read my poetry, it's all in there" .......this is so true. your writings express all about you. :)

[Frieda P]

What a sweet review, thanks so much Vani. :-)

[Tai Ryens]

Just an average day on writers cafe, reading other pieces and having yours reviewed as well. Referring to fellow writers reading your work as butterflies was also quite a lovely thought, well done.

[Frieda P]

Jazzed you enjoyed Tai, thanks so much.

[Angel]

Ahhh...the ambience of the Café...a place where talent runs over...
I love it here. The wonderful smell of percolating poetry...
I like mine nice and dreamy, with plenty of laughter...
Yummy!

[Frieda P]

Haha Angel, you don't always get dreamy and laugher on my pages, but you're sweet, you always visit! Thanks muchly....

[Tam Warink]

Well, I must say, that was exceedingly delicate and warm. You do seem to hold poets and poetry with a rather fond affection. Perhaps, for some, it is rightly deserved. This certainly will keep them wondering for a bit longer, will it not, Frieda, my dear.

[Frieda P]

Yes I do Tam, I think we're a breed apart from the lot, thanks so much for your thoughts here.
