My Morning Routine

Breakfast bells ring In my stomach and I go downstairs in the Room where deliciousness Resides with care and love— Kitchen, I stumble slowly Sinking the moment all in I take every step Tap Tap Tap I'm downstairs My fingers wrapping Affectionately around My coffee mug Which is also my mate, Coffee, I pour from the french press, And it goes like a spiral Down in the mug as a whirlwind. And then it goes gently down my throat When I kiss my mellow mug mindfully. Then my toast jumps out of the toaster Like an acrobat, Acutely lays on the placid plate Waiting for me to reward it With strawberries, cherries, Or balmy butter or merry mulberries, Or sometimes just like Winnie I eat it with humble honey. Afterwards, the backyard awaits me, I amble amply, Scatter some bread for my buddies— Birds and squirrels, While the wind greets me, And they all gather round When I read my poems, Keeping them spellbound.

This is exactly how every day should start! With twirling coffee and crumbs for the birds and poetry. What a delight. Blessings every morning, S:) x

Dearest Anne, O' how you reflect life’s small rituals, each moment savored, each detail alive with warmth and care. I love how you turn the simple act of making breakfast into a sensory adventure such as the spiral of coffee, the acrobatic toast, the playful toppings that change with your mood. Your backyard gathering, where birds and squirrels become your morning audience, beautifully blends nature and companionship, showing your love for botanical imagery and personal connection. I think your style shines with the influence of poets like Mary Oliver, finding wonder in the everyday. I’m delighted to see your poetic voice grow more expressive and confident with each piece. Keep letting your mornings, and your words, bloom. Spring Blessings, My Dearest Anne, Daniel

You eat a very healthy breakfast. Many go for bacon and sausages, the worst food for one's health. Good to feed the birds. Great ideas.

This is a wonderfully complicated poem yet not complicated but I know what you know what’s about and I. I remember writing something similar, but it was far more simple.. You’re so creative in this phone and that I encourage you to really pursue poetry at any site that also is heavy on the classical poetry side.. I can send that in you. Some poets like coffee, some poets like tea. Whay can I say…Except this was delightful. Should be a POTD and a FAV.. and again thank you you..Pangie xx
