~One Cup~

Humming wakes me in the morning
Nanna’s busy in the kitchen
One cup of tea

Oven’s heating in the hearth
Fruit is soaking in the bath
One cup of sugar

Deftly kneading on the wood
Dough is moulded as it should
One cup of flour

Kettle boiling cauldron steaming
Jam is bubbling crusts are gleaming
One cup of Raspberries

Lazy rocking in the arvo
Smell the hay freshly mowed
Nanna’s hugs are soft and warm
One cup of love!

About adgray

adgray is a writer and a poet
- telling stories all her life,
- writing them down once she learnt how
“Scribbling! Always scribling!”
… and no there was nothing to be done about it!
Her poetry came later when the gift found her to be a ZETE segue (Zographonic Extemporanious Treatise Ekphrasis)
At times she can go into a trance-like state as poetry flows through her to the page and screen
Thank you for coming to read my words! ~ adgray~

    Moments special,
    and so natural as day light.
    I envy the presence of these sensorial minutes….
    they las for a whole Life.
    In my concrete expedition,
    I am moved by some smells too..
    the bread next bakery,
    the rosted red peppers,
    fried onion and perfumed wax.
    Well..it is our own heart creating
    Home.
    Rosa (beautiful..really simple and sensual)
