That Morning Cuppa

The joys of that first cuppa of a day.

 

My morning cuppa is such a delight,

the perfect beginning to the end of night,

if it's to be tea please make it white,

but with sugar would be to my dislike.

Ahhh, that first cuppa is just the best,

better you see than all the rest,

in my big Indian mug, curled tight with a book,

the news and weather I take a look. 

 

That 'heart starter' at the break of day,

when cares and worries heavy weigh,

the perfect little 'pick me up'

  brought to me in a steamy cup.

Leaving no concern in its wake,

healing all wounds and heartache,

setting me up for what lies ahead as

  I lay reclining in my bed. 

 

But a mid morning coffee made just right

  with half a pill and a dash of white,

the stronger the better you just can't beat

  that rich aroma always a treat. 

Another one the afternoon, as is my like,

while in the sun the perfect respite,

but a tea after dinner is my delight,

the perfect beginning to another night.

My morning coffee is fiercely anticipated, but I must get all my demanding pets cared for, so I can finally relax & enjoy. I love the way your poem takes its leisurely time showing all the various possibilities & the accoutrements that go with the perfect morning routine. I love it when a writer meanders down a path, showing more sparkling details than we get in some of the more brief postings! *smile* Fondly, Margie

Thank you Margie. I'm glad you like it! Thank you also for your further insights that I don’t necessarily see. Gives me clarity!

'That Morning Cuppa'
Richard M.,
Well good morning! This was super lovely. I liked the interlacing of what and how you have played with here. The simplicity of life in the day to day. I sense a thankfulness, an awareness for the sun shining on you and your cup. Tea is mentioned too. We have so much to be thankful for. Bless you for showing your basket of blessings of a morning.

It was beautiful and helped me to see life in the picture of someone else's experience.

Richard you were right. This is quite delightful. I like tea at night before bed with a book or in the afternoon for a gentle pick me up. So it's like we are inverted. :) Lovely poem!

[Richard M]

Thank you for reading, I'm glad you liked it! Inverted, yes I guess we are! lol Nice to meet you

Can't start the day without 2 cups of extra strong coffee. Russ any remnants of sleep and kick starts the brain.
Enjoyed your poem Richard M
