Kettle is boiling
My favourite mug is ready
This morning isn’t spoiling
Pouring hot liquid is toiling
powder form changes in seconds
kettle is boiling
Handwritten notes for my novel
sipping at each caffeine hit
My imagination clearly dispels
As time passes, my hope in store
I need to earn money for my saviour
that is an author’s flaw
Latte is my endurance toiling
I close my notebook with a sigh
This morning isn’t spoiling
Another chance at drinking shouts and screams
I have to go, I am so sad
On my retirement I will dream
Being an adult is not what it seems.
Nicely written 👍 I drink a hot coffee each morning.

I have changed from coffee to hot tea. Lot of different flavors. Retirement isn’t what it seems. Often a bit boring. I’ve done every thing I wanted to do and not able to do any more. Enjoy y;our writings/ thoughts. 😉

Thank you. I haven’t retired yet, but I am waiting to hear about working less days. I am like you, I would probably be bored.

don’t let the mornings spoil, no matter what– “This morning isn’t spoiling” because you will not let it. Happy mindset, my friend. Coffee is best in the morning. xoxo

It is, even without the caffeine.

Diana, I love how your kettle boils with unwritten stories as well as coffee, while “Being an adult is not what it seems” delivers the bitter shot beneath all that latte warmth!

‘Growing up isn’t what it seems.’ I agree. Sometimes, it is better than youth.
