Life, Not Quite A Haiku

Life, Not Quite A Haiku

A Poem by Audrey Howitt
"

A poem about the zen of life

"

Life occurs in the periods we do not notice,

Those we do not see.

The coffee cup is full, then empty.

How many sips in between?

Maybe it's not what you do but the way in which you do it. There's a sip or two gone under my proverbial bridge and at each I''ve learned a lesson.

Clever thinking, Audrey, finely put.

Very perceptive, Audrey. Keep noticing what most do not.
Great piece.

Brief yes, but concise and eloquently stated. My only criticism would be the chosen font.....something that speaks this loudly deserves more space and impact upon the page. :)

More like a not quite senyru..but it doesn't matter, what matters is the impact on a readers mind..Now I am thinking of the million sips of life between coffee sips..see.. your poem had the impact I was speaking of...
enjoyed
