Ode To My Coffee Cup

It was in a thrift shop where we met, You were sitting on a shelf, And I was passing through, I was in need of a coffee cup, And you were in need of a home, And over the years you became My friendly comfort zone. It's early morning when I get up, I'll go and get my coffee cup, And after the morning coffee's brewed I'm usually good the whole day through, There is no place I'd rather be, Than in the morning calm, With just my coffee cup and me. I love those quiet hours before the crack of dawn, The peace and quiet is a special time, To activate my poetic mind, And when I sit and write with my cup by my side, It gives me a feeling of poetic pride, And after the morning sun comes up, I'm ready to refill my coffee cup.

What a delightful poem! It is well written, and is a reminder of the beauty of an interior life with God that can be found in our otherwise humdrum days.

Thank you for your poetry. Easy reading with common theme yet put together so nicely. I like how you write poetry for everyone rather than for other poets. Keep writing as you do.

Thank you for liking my poem. I wrote it earlier this year for a writers workshop. It was a local Poets workshop and there were 15 other writers besides myself. We met from the 3rd of February until the 3rd of April It was a good learning experience. The best thing was making 15 new friends. Don Pettinelli The Northfield Poet.

That's my favorite time of day, too, Don. The aroma of fresh brewed coffee is so stimulating. Sometimes I get so involved in writing that the coffee gets cold. Nicely written.
