While waiting for Mom doing her PT, I pondered today’s prompt:
…write a platonic love poem. In other words, a poem not about a romantic partner, but some other kind of love – your love for your sister, or a friend, or even your love for a really good Chicago deep dish pizza. The poem should be written directly to the object of your affections (like a letter is written to “you”), and should describe at least three memories of you engaging with that person/thing.
And as I slurped the last of my coffee, it came to me in a flash!
This familiar paper cup
This brown cardboard sleeve
this carefully molded white lid —
How I look forward to our meetings!
I know the level of half and half
I know how much sweetener
I know how to pour the fragrant liquid
quickly and neatly
I have exact change ready
We fling open the door
to face the day!
And a couple haiku:
A card from a friend
pen to paper, add a stamp
reading in the yardThree postcards today
happiness in the mailbox
unexpectedly
