A rich cloudburst

Cumulus clouds, whirl along with cream and sugar,

inside a cup.

They make their way to flicker while healing their burns.

A pinch of winter has been dipped,

to enrich its panorama into the drink.

Midnight knows how to take a sip of mystique,

it knows how to blend itself.

Author's Note

I'm literally not sure about the title!

Wonderful use of words dear poet. Each set of lines made the reader believe and understand your words.
"Midnight knows how to take a sip of mystique,
it knows how to blend itself."
We need to taste mystique and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thanks so much for stepping inside the world of the piece and exploring its theme. It really helps a lot in motivating me. :'D

[Coyote Poetry]

I am glad. I love your work moog-drika.

[moog-drika]

Ahh I'm thrilled to bits now. :'D

How wonderful it is to read some great language and know one can juggle its meanings to suit mood and instant interpretation. I'm tempted to read other reviews, bit will NOT because whilst i have a feeling its coffee swirled and stirred with cream.. .. it could also be clouds battling in the sky.. late autumn versus coming winter.. each wanting to season the space above earthly time. Perhaps.

[moog-drika]

I think you already understood through my write that I didn't shape it up with any definite meaning. All these different interpretations help me a lot in understanding my own thoughts in different ways.
As for yours, I'm really happy that you went with visualizing what you felt, not what others thought. You explained the write so beautifully that it took me to a new world. Thank you so much. It really means a lot!

[emmajoy]

I think your poem is lovely... will read more... but must go now.. til later!

[Unspoken poet]

WOW!! Love those last two lines, this is wonderful.

[moog-drika]

Thanks a bunch. So glad you love it. :D

[Robert Trakofler]

love the image of this and I also adore the picture you attached:) I drink my coffee with lots of cream and a bit of sugar and the stirrings are oh so sweet some days I can see the universe in my cup as the galaxies coalesce in the swirl patterns and other days I can see myself staring back at me looking as if to say "well what have we today" LOL one day I am going to write a poem written in the cadence of your name dear Moog:)

[moog-drika]

Can't tell you how much thrilled the interpretation made me. It showed me a fresh new season of what's there inside the coffee cup. Loved visualizing the galaxies being coalesced in the swirl patterns. Wish I could steal this imagination from you. Hahaha
Oh and thank you so so much for even thinking about writing a poem in the cadence of my name. That literally made me speechless. Can't express in words how much the comment meant to me. :'D :'D
Thank you, thank you, thanks a TONNNNNNN!

[barleygirl]

The title is perfect, don't worry! I loved the way my mind went in a fluid whirl at the start, visualizing the way cream explodes into black coffee. I also love the way your message seems to straddle the idea of clouds, cloudy coffee, & winter . . . intriguing combination, but it really works. A nicely fresh series of images to pique the reader's imagination flow (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[moog-drika]

It is evident from the review that how much you enjoyed the piece. And this is what gives me utter pleasure. I'm extremely happy to take you to a different world where I received a new and lovely meaning in return. Thanks a ton. *hugs* and *lots of love*

[Relic]

.................. Awesome poem, Moog!

[moog-drika]

Thank you so much :'D

[Jibey]

How often the elements of the weather reflect our moods and feelings... The images of the weather creating and flavouring the drink stirs the imagination and hints at the intimacy of lips on the hard rim, of steamy reveries, of sensations that stir under the night sky

[moog-drika]

Wow! This was such a beautiful interpretation! Makes me image the piece in a very different way with an essence of your thoughts. Thank you so much. :'D

[Jibey]

It is a lovely thing when we can stir each other with our words, stimulating new creations... Your poem 'poke', as your profile suggests... a pleasing poke, reviving the soul

[moog-drika]

This is how we bring many poetries in one poem and I can say that poem will also have a number of dimensions to visualise on.
As for being a thought poker, isn't it something we all do? poke each others thoughts and interpret them?
By the way, thanks so much for taking the trouble to go through my profile. I really loved the way you put your words and mixed with mine. Thanks a bunch!

[I Shred This Cabbage]

This piece has a certain pulse of magical strength...it has a lovely rhythm and cadence and feels light, though has the weight and feeling of being well worked through. Lovely

[moog-drika]

You penned your thoughts about it so beautifully. Loved it. Thank you so much for the positive review. That means a lot.

[Chris Shaw]

The title pulled me in, but I got an unexpected surprise from your lines. You gave me much imagery in that midnight cup. All good wishes.

Chris

[moog-drika]

I should say that one of your pieces inspired me to have such imagery. I'm so glad that it caught your attention. Thanks a bunch for all the positive words. :'D

[Chris Shaw]

You are very welcome and pleased I gave you some inspiration :)

[Cherrie]

I think your title lends itself to the opening stanza. Your imagination limits your choices of a title, but I like this one. I was prepared for a lazy sky of dreamy clouds and got something much more.

[moog-drika]

Do you think I should change it? Because the one given here was actually chosen randomly. :D But thanks so much for such a beautiful review. Loved it.

[Cherrie]

Oh no it is another element to the poem.

[moog-drika]

My brain works like a lazy sky sometimes haha. Thanks a lot. :'D

[Cult Barbie]

"They make their way to flicker while healing their burns." This is a fantastic line. Healing and hurting all at once. I like the title btw

[moog-drika]

Yes, I have decided that I won't be changing the title since everyone has liked it. Thanks a bunch for the compliment and making my day. :'D
