She sifts words.
Kneads them
lattice-crusts them,
in and out
over and under.
Languorous sips of coffee
and dawning day
let loose her pen.
Mental acuity ages well
when given time to prance
upon the empty page.

Languorous! Points for teaming that word with coffee!! Your writing slows the pace to fit the scene, and then the word prance ramps it back up to a fresh renewal of day. I also like the fact that your coffee pot does that same annoying drip-on-the-counter thing that mine does 😉 Merry Christmas, Lillian!

After a holiday break with family time and relaxation time, sitting in the airport before we fly to Houston and then on to Chile for our 34 day adventure – catching up here.
I do love the early morning time — especially when I can have candles lit, or the Christmas tree, and have a cup of coffee in my hand. Best time to write!
Happy New Year, Victoria!
