Best Wifewater Poems
She bends over me as I sit yawning
morning lazy at the kitchen
table;
ever carefully, with a potholder,
she gently holds and lifts
the pan handle.
Slowly she pours steaming, gleaming
water into a cup, filling
without spilling;
the brown powder tosses tiny islets
on the rippling surface, floating,
swirling,
disappearing as they quickly dissolve;
the water turns into amber
syrup;
and she stirs tiny circlets with my spoon;
tan, sudsy whirlpools hypnotize
my cup!
