This is a lovely Rime Couee for the club, June. You set a lovely mood with the cup of tea and biscuits to end the day and the thought of coffee as she lay in the morn, listening to the birds outside. (sounds like me, except for the cat). Lovely read,
cheers,
valda

    That?s the way we should all live. But sometimes it?s hard to do.

You did great job with your club poem, June. The picture is
adorable, and your words are perfect for it. Great job with the
rhyme scheme, the smooth flow, and the fun story. I could see
everything you mentioned--love the ginger kitty.
Thanks for participating, Jan

Well done with your Rime Couee, June.
I love the picture. It even has the
Ginger cat in it. Living in the moment
is great if you can do that. Well done.

Great picture to go along with the great poem. You think much like I do. It's so nice to end the day that way with a furry companion by our side. Each new day is an adventure.

I enjoyed this poem. It is an excellent rhyming form and I love the thought of living in the moment. That is basically the way I live too. I'm delighted when it is time for bed and equally glad when it is time to get up again. I enjoy my evening tea and my morning coffee and I'm not sure what my day might bring, but I'm anxious to find our and hope it will be good. Since I love learning new things, I'm sure whatever I find out will be interesting.

Love the theme of the poem, the rhymes are perfect! Unless I'm counting wrong, I think in your first stanza you wrote 8/8/8/8/8/6

The second two stanzas scan as 8/8/6/8/8/6...

Easy edit! Change line three to read "with biscuits and hot tea!"

(or something along those lines?)

Love the name of this form...

I keep thinking it sounds like a fancy cocktail...

Karenina

Addendum: Nice job getting that first stanza to listen and obey! (added 8/28/22)

Love the picture and how it fits with the poem. Lots of rules to follow in a rime couee. Well done. I picked up that Ginger was the cat without having to read it.

The poem flows well. The images are clear. The narrative stays on point. The language is warm and comfortable feeling. The presentation is pleasing.

Suggestion:

The third line should have 6 syllables per the guideline and the one in verse one has 8. It could read "with biscuits and warm tea."

Thanks for sharing.

with biscuits and a cup of tea.
