poetry – Page 29 – Tina Stewart Brakebill

Thanks to Sadje for Keeping It Alive When I saw this picture (for her What Do You See challenge), the end of the Lord of the Rings saga immediately popped into my head. So here is my (with apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien for my rather lame and by Tolkien standards way too short) ode to setting off from the Grey Havens headed to Valinor.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

best part of waking up …

finishing the grind

as the kettle starts to sing

practice makes perfect

In honor of NaPoWriMo, this haiku is an ode to one of life’s small pleasures. For me it’s making our morning coffee. I love the whole process from grinding the beans to pushing the plunger on our French press. It’s an art and a science that never quite produces the same taste.

And as it sometimes happens, Linda’s SoCS prompt of “practice”was a perfect splash of milk to complete my thoughts. Thanks!
