I love the feeling of aloneness this conjures up. That would be heart-rending if the spouse only does for themselves because they are over the other one. Nice job!

Lordinajamjar: glad you are singing a song about spoon shadows
and hot tea. What kind do you like? Have fun. Invite friends over
and share some hot tea and food. Always a good time playing cards
or games. We've had 40 inches of snow in February. I drink hot tea, too.

Black tea, with sugar and milk, stirred, not too string. LOL

I see that you live in Minnesota. Brrrrr.

You can keep Lake Woebegone in the winter. LOL. I am staying here in Arizona.

Thanks for nice writeup Eagle. :)

Tea is ready... so many of the Dakota and Minnesota are snow birds... ---12 today and we've had 40 inches of snow in February and 8 more next weekend. Send some sunshine here, please!!!

I know Haiku's are a little more complex and simple than your average 5-7-5 poem. The last line got you 6 stars as it wrapped it all together. Great job. Hope next time she makes you a cup.

Oh wow! Thanks Yvon. I appreciate the recognition. Thank you for the six stars. Much appreciated.
She just handed me a fresh hot cup.

Thanks my friend.

Lucky you.

This is a sad poem. It shows that this couple is not sharing the love they used to because she doesn't think to make tea for her husband too. I bet he is lonely even though they live together.

Good luck and keep writing

This was a good read, Lordinajamjar. This piece really expresses a lot of emotion and tells a whole story in three short lines. Nice writing and good luck in the contest.

lAlone is how it feels to write, like your poem, perhaps she said it was for you, but you forgot to say I love you. Beautiful poem.

Hello, in a jam jar. LOL I know not what to call you. (Name please?) Welcome aboard Fanstory. I see you are fortunate enough to be retired in sunny Arizona. (I assume) You poetry is unique. I like the way it flows. I'll be watching out for more, Sir. Bless you, Bob

Thanks Bib. My name is John.

I live in Arizona but far from retired. Way overworked .LOL

Thank you very much for your support. It is greatly appreciated. I am really enjoying this experience but having to snatch it in handfuls until I get some free time.
Thanks again.

Thanks Meeshu. I know his name today is Yusuf Islam but he will forever be Cat Stevens for those of us who were lucky enough to grow up with his wonderful music. :)

That cup pattern is well known methinks.

Thank you for the lovely review.

"Cat" is #7 on my all-time songwriters list.

This is a good five seven five poem. I had to think about this and then I thought of a song it reminded me of. Anyway, one cup of tea is definitely not made for the company of two! Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you JM. I appreciate your review and definitely agree tea for one is just unnatural. LOL
