The kettle is singing

Whistle. Whistle. Pop.
Come pour me into your cup -
Lonesome farmhouse mug.

Cozy picture. Nice rhyming lines.

My kettle sings in harmony. Sometimes it's so pretty I don't want to turn it off.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Finding that kettle singing in harmony is the tough part....:)

[WittyWonka]

yes it is.......:)

[CherieLamour]

I will share my mug of Java with you. :-)

[SleeplessVolcano]

I may need more than one....:)

[CherieLamour]

I will put on a pot of coffee and invite you over.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Be warned. Rumor has it that I am a coffee snob.....better not be just any kind of pot....:P

[CherieLamour]

Be assured that it is not just any pot... indeed.

A beautiful glimpse into the sounds and wonders of joy in a kettle. Yes, I love the music it makes, and the warmth it brings.

Well, those three little lines conjure up quite a picture. With the stanza of 5,7 5 is it a haiku?(or a senyru) I shall have to look it up.

[Lydia Shutter]

Very good senyru....I think. You have created quite a picture in three short lines. Enjoy your tea! Lydi**

[SleeplessVolcano]

Thank you very much! i did. It was a caffeine free tea, to combat my caffeine addiction.....you should try it some time, if you haven't already ( called rooibos, or red bush)

[Lydia Shutter]

I only drink one cup of caffeinated coffee in the morning....no other caffeine all day. Yes, I have tried it, but I am not a tea lover.

this would be a senryu ..correct? .. i am constantly getting them mixed up ... love the subtle humor ... when i hit your third line the whole seen presents itself to me ... especially at this time of year ... the farmstead can be a dangerously quiet and lonesome place ... but what is better than taking down the old mug, filling it with favorite hot brew ... settle it down on that red/white checkered oil cloth ... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... i will make it through the winter one more time :)

I get confused too.....but as explained to me by a much better poet than myself, a senryu involves human emotions, whereas haikus are about inanimate objects......though in three lines, one can probably combine the two, right? I like the gray in life......lol.....waiter ask me now, do you want cream or ice-cream with the waffle, and she could not quite think outside the box enough to handle my spontaneous request, "both please!" :)
