Waking Warmly
A lune poem about my favorite morning ritual.10 total reviews
Comment from juliaSjames
Congratulations on your win.. It's well deserved. The more I reflect (sic) on your lune poem, the more I feel its nuances. Why it's like a meditation! With each sip of tea, warmth floods your body and the promise of the day seeps into your soul. Reflecting is equally an action. Just as sunlight wavers on the liquid, so too do thoughts come and go.
Magical, with just that soupcon of alliteration and consonance to add a soothing poetic touch.
My husband was British, born into a nation of tea drinkers. In your poem I hear an echo of his remark that there was nothing more delightful and refreshing than his early morning cup of tea, alone in the kitchen with his thoughts before I got out of bed.
Stay safe and blessed

Wow! Thank you for the exceptional review, and for taking the time to read my poem. I'm glad you caught the double meaning of the word "reflection", and I appreciate the thoroughness of your review. Warm wishes!

Perfect little lune poem which says so much in these few words. On a literal level, there is the sunrise reflected in the tea water. On another level, it feels like the narrator is drinking in the warmth of the morning to start the day.
Congratulations on the win!!

Comment from Ric Myworld
Sipping hot coffee as I watch the sun rise has been a morning ritual my whole life. Standing on the rail, listening to pulsating breaths as nostrils flare, thoroughbred hooves pounding in rhythm and coming closer. Then, through the fog bursts the massive beast, neck bowed and muscles flexing. Thanks for sharing.

Yikes. Sorry about my typos! (I'm world-famous for fingers flying faster than my brain!) I meant YOU won, not "yiu"-- OH, you got the idea! (blushing here)--Karenina

I knew what you meant! No reason to blush; we all suffer from typos. :)

Sunrise in tea is a nice image. It sounds warm and relaxing. You did a good job capturing that in three lines. Thank you for sharing this. Keep up the good work.
