A lift of the coffee cup to you this morning, Jim, as I too wait to see what ideas percolate.

Thank you, Cecile. I agree. There's nothing like watching the pot boil and letting the synapses rest.

Thank you for that nice compliment, Annette.

Thanks, Cheryl.

Thank you, Briggette. :-)

I sure do appreciate the 10, Audrey. Thank you for it.

I believe it too, Priscilla--a container of contentment comes.

ideas indeed percolate
bright bubbling tantalizing brew
excited molecules dancing and blending
eureka! eureka!
so deliciously energized!

Peace,
libramoon

How ironic that you have written of this. I have told so many of my friends that I dont just sit down and write, that I let the ideas brew in my head before I begin. Thanks for putting it into such great words.

My pleasure, Mary. I'm glad they had meaning for you. There's nothing like a quiet sip while playing with the sounds of what you want to say, in your head.

Jim, you are awesome. You can write poems, Haiga, Tanka, etc faster than I can type.

Very clearly understood poetry for one like me who is dense as hell.

I tried a Haiku once and it wasn't too bad. But, then I tried a cognac and it was good.
