My first time ever trying the shape form. It was fun, and clearly I've got too much time today lol

Fill my cup with poetry and sweet lavender petals rinsed with love blended with flavours of empathy; a soothing hot remedy on frosty mornings, when the sun hides behind fogs of memories, add a pinch of the patience and a spoonful of saccharine solace to tea lull the nostalgic notions lost in November mists of flowing across moonless skies of sorrow for my my cup of lyrical warmth rejuvenates senses life as coldness seeps in while a poet weaves hope through verses shaped in artistic lines stolen from the stars scattered across this cosmic canvas

Lovely! I enjoy how you've left some sprinkles falling down into your cup. A cup of tea can right many wrongs! Xo

A cosmic canvas, indeed, Inky! Every line is filled with your signature originality - "fogs of memories," "a pinch of patience," "a spoonful of saccharine solace," "cup of lyrical warmth." I am just in awe of your ability to create images then blend them into a poem that reflects your artistic depth. I feel so blessed to be inspired by your poems. Sending you gratitude, blessings and congratulations! Here's to more shape poems and time on your hands.

The image of the cup of steaming tea so masterfully sketched on the canvas of your imagination is indeed beautiful. The content inside is more invigorating than the brew of milk , tea and sugar. Early this misty morning, it has warmed my spirits. Beautiful dear friend.

No one will know that you actually designed this on your phone and that could no be easy.. you must have been very bored.. you designed it very well and the poem is also fitting to go with it.. thats why I guess it fitted in a cup.. nice shape designing dear poet..

Dear Ink, this shape exemplifies your limitless creativity. Whatever subject you choose to investigate, your abilities will always shine through. I was blown away by both the shape and content of your work. Brian is a huge fan of form poetry, and you completely blew me away with this one. The design was wonderfully constructed, and the idea you generated invoked the peaceful calm of a hot cup of tea. "Cup of poetry" was an apt and evocative title for such a great piece.

This looks similar to another poem of yours. The lavender part. But I probably have that wrong. It's cool how you included the pouring of the poetry into the cup. Very inventive, Ink. You are so creative
