If Cat Stevens were here he'd have been singing along with me with a smile on his face... that was too much fun! I miss listening to the music that ran my life back then... I shouldn't have said that... I'm dating myself! LOL

Your well-written poem makes good use of all syllables---to make me wonder . . .
I suppose her making just one cup could indicate she's miffed with her hubby,
freezing him out.

    Thanks Janice.

    Yes miffed with hubby. His own fault. He is only a man he can't help it. Lol

    I appreciate your thoughtful comments.
    Best

Are you saying your wife didn't make you a cup too? That would be lonely indeed. I don't have any suggestions. I admire all you poets who say so much in just a few words - and then have to get the syllable count correct!

Hmmmmm... I am imagining a number of scenarios here. You don't drink tea? You do drink tea, but she is making a statement by not making one for you too? A little tiff perhaps? Or, she is making one for you - and you realize that she won't be joining you? Or worse, she's not even there and you are making tea and "missing" the memory of her when there is only one cup for the spoon to strike? A good poem does that!

That is the loneliest sound...we hear it chime and chime again...but for me it would be coffee. My husband and I start the day with the argument ...Your turn to make coffee...no it's yours...but I got him...if God meant for women to make it ..it would be Shebrews...LOL
God Bless
