~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!

Your flutter'd thoughts are beautiful!! I always sit with my coffee in hand and come to your side of the Cafe' ( which I picture is directly to the left of me lol) and read what you have for us. You are just as warm and inviting as my morning brew. On cold days you warm me up and on some hot days you cool me off with your words, but I always get my fill of something for my soul over here. xoxoxo

[Frieda P]

Hahah Dye, you're a riot, I hear the 'left side' is where all the action is. LOL thanks for the vote of confidence my friend! xo

[Dye]

LOL-- a lot of action on my left- the right is starting to get jealous!

[Frieda P]

Hey let them find their own fun~ Lol ;-)

[Justaguy]

Action? did someone say action?

[Dye]

The peanut gallery! you are like a drug sniffing dog---how did you even notice that. lol

[Justaguy]

[Justaguy]

[Frieda P]

[Justaguy]

[Dye]

[Justaguy]

[Frieda P]

You don't look like a truck, you look like a car trying to impress the girlies ;-)

[Justaguy]

[Dye]

Looks like a car, but I picture more like Mater, a few loose screws. LOL

[Justaguy]

[Dye]

[Justaguy]

How do YOU know?...lol

[Frieda P]

I think the left side needs a ref. ;-P

[Justaguy]

[Jack...]

This is simply beautiful. Don't ask me why, but it literally brought me to tears...and I am not sure why. Perhaps it is the soft whisper of your words or the feeling it provokes deep within, something about this piece touched me and filled my heart with a happy sadness, if that makes any damn sense. Now I am just a rambling basketcase, so I will just end this by saying...amazing.

[Frieda P]

Wow Jack, I wasn't expecting that reaction...glad you liked it so much, have a cuppa on me my sweet friend.

[toritto]

Nicely done Frieda. I too usually read over coffee. Funny but I never wrote a word until about 2 -3 years ago. I spent my entire life in corporate America making a living. Suddenly I had an urge to write it all down. Strange indeed.

Regards

[Frieda P]

I can think of nothing better after working in the corporate world for that many years, it soothes the soul, thanks toritto.
