For The Contest, "Stirring My Tea"
Sponsor, Fire Bird

Not fully wakened till I have a sip of what that sweet aroma leads me to our breakfast table where he pours for me my coffee cup filled up with fresh ground brew. That sip embraces every sleepy cell; awakes my heart with a new morning hope; alerts to meet the goals the day lays out and lifts my spirits to triumph or cope. For me, this is a waking ritual not pursued just any time of day; a morning gift alone at breakfast time- just us together with our prized cafe'. ~1st Place~ Contest: Wake Up With Coffee Or Tea Contest Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues Judged: 12/11/2016

I can see that first cup being poured and love the second stanza that brings the caffeine to life, especially - "to meet the goals the day lays out". Congrats and thank you for entering my contest, Andrea!

I'm an all day coffee drinker. From zero degrees to a hundred. I'm all about me some coffee. I loved your poem, Mrs Sandra:)
