About Me

My photo
Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, now living in Cheshire, England. I started to write poetry some years ago, as a hobby. I have enjoyed that new venture very much. My preferences are for long and micro-form poetry styles. A first book of poetry ~ Reason Without Rhyme, was published in December 2013. A second book ~ Fifty Seven Pebbles, was published in September 2015...I am presently compiling the content for my third book. Thank you for visiting my Blog...

Cup of Comfort....

There are many occasions in a whole lifetime,
When one’s angst or calm moods seek a cuppa.
Blends and flavours of botanical fruity infusions,
Cafetieres percolating roasted coffee grounds.
Aromas invite a desire to participate and partake,
Comfort and sympathy are most easily found in cup.
Soothing variations or additions enhance taste buds,
Hot or cold refreshments offer a wide menu of delights.
Traditions of breakfast strengths to awaken mornings,
While afternoons relax with fresh scones and cream teas.
Formality rests itself upon exquisite saucers of bone china,
While teacups snuggle up and hug the informality of home.

    Aromas invite a desire - love that line and a great thought, how we are drawn towards the wonder . Great work.

    Your mention of 'fresh scones and cream teas' made me think of Britain. I think no one truly understands tea if they have not had a cuppa in the UK.

    So true that both angst and calm moods seek a 'cuppa.' There is so much benefit to be gained from sitting with a brewed cup. And then there is tea and scones...what a special delight. I have been drinking herbal teas in the afternoon, and it IS good for the soul! I like that you have written about both coffee AND tea, Eileen!
