The Question

Inspired by and written for Weekend Writing Prompt – Thank you, Sammi

The Question
Form: Free verse

Kettle boils and pot is warming
measured spoons of leaves to brew
the perfect cup of tea
and from the tin
a guilty secret of biscuits on a plate
one, two, or
just maybe three
because four would be greedy
and poet sits
pen in hand
a pondering on his mind
intense thinking sipping tea
his eye caressing a biscuit
should he dunk or should he not
either way
it has to be said
only crumbs will remain

Word count: 78

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
