A Cup of Sanity

© Margaret Bednar ~  i & I ~  2012


One
Sip of
Velvety
Cappuccino
Provides a moment
Of peaceful reflection
And the opportunity
To refuel my soul, a respite
From hectic schedules and demanding
Voices…serenity topped with frothed milk.


~~~~~ This poem was inspired by a photo prompt from Imaginary Garden with Real Toads featuring the photography of Margaret Bednar.

Sometimes that is all it takes! This is the perfect form for the image too.

indeed - I like a little "serenity topped with frothed milk" myself :D

This was a fun evening out with my children. My son would have probably preferred a beer... but he is not of age yet :) Thank you for this poem. Drinking my morning (or afternoon) cup of coffee IS poetry to my soul :)

a little indulgence can bring such relief to one's day.

i enjoyed this! {i've become addicted to iced coffee with milk this summer.}
