Poet’s Morning
POET’S MORNING
Sipping early tea
Savouring another’s words
Fresh inspiration
Old farmer ploughs his meadow
Rich tang of freshly turned soil

Me too. 🙂 It turned out fine and without effort.
All praise to Calliope!
Then a friend added a response, so we now had:
Sipping early tea
Savouring another’s words
Fresh inspiration
Old farmer ploughs his meadow
Rich tang of freshly turned soil
Then in turn he sips his own tea
From a stained old mug
With his pet crow under the old oak tree
~~~~~ ~ ~~~~~
Oh to be gifted such friends.

When Edwina (unwittingly) introduced it I – of course – immediately thought of you. 🙂
