MOODY TUESDAY

A gloomier, cloudier start than recently. I wonder if Tuesday forgot it was working today? It's turned up in a mood bringing overnight rain. Darkened slate tiles become obsidian rooftops. Is Tuesday sketching its feelings? I recommend a lighter pencil and more colour.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

we covet our first cuppa, I slurpose,

we love it for the thoughts it will expose

we care about the time and place we sip

we journey far and wide from where we sit.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"Is this a cuppa I see before me?

Handle towards my hand

Come let me clutch thee." - first draft of Macbeth where Shakespeare decides he will not kill King Duncan and have a nice brew instead. ☕
