Hello Lordinajamjar
Tea for one and seeing a shadow of a tea spoon In your category you have as humor, I see it sad to think that you weren't there with your wife when she clangs her teacup as stirs her tea.

Very nice but kind of sad. I thought tea for two was the way it should always be. I love the song you reference in your notes, you did a great job on this piece. Thanks for sharing.

Hello :)
Oh dear, what did you do to deserve missing out on a nice cup of tea?!
Great 5-7-5, different and enjoyable :) Nice alliteration in line 3. Well presented. Good Luck in the voting booth!
Your author notes deserve my last 6 star gift for the week!
Unfortunately for my family, I am now singing Moon Shadow with your alternative lyrics LOL!
Best wishes, Debra :)

Cat and you have a winner!

Verse and illustration are a good combo.

like phrasing/words:

... loneliest sounds
spoon striking ...

I too like that sound. Tea is my go-to beverage of choice.

Best wishes in your contest entry.

I could live without my companion, my love and my wife. But it would at times be very lonely. Little things, coffee together... mean so much and makes the day start with hope. A most interesting poem involving reality. Best wishes.

Very good entry and very well thought! The picture, the images your words create all work very very well. You've painted a clear picture and your restricted 5-7-5 count is tightly composed following it vibrantly. Excellent well-knit poem! Enjoyed!
