Coffe Mug
So much depends upon
My dull, storm cloud gray colored mug
Torn, tattered and stained from constant wear
My mug has seen no mercy
In fact it has been tossed here and perhaps there
Medium in size, mug will never win a prize
Silent it will stand engulfing rich, creamy liquids
Arousing my senses so early in the morning
Without it please, heed my warning
Normally my mug captures the morning storm
That’s why mug is always so gray
For it’s hard to feel so blistering hot, even scorching in the morning
But mug keeps the storm out of my head
And even drags me out of bed
I am not me without my coffee in the morning
So much depends upon
My dull, storm cloud gray colored mug
Especially in the morning
Cell phone
So much depends upon
My wireless connection to the world
This electric cranberry colored cell phone is just that
Its annoying chirping wake up call
Is my start to every fresh daybreak
With keys absent of some numbers
Worn it is without all color
News it brings me
Sometimes with delay
For this phone has seen its better day
But picky I must not be
Because with it I would lose, well, even me
For this simple phone is my pace
It keeps in time and out of space
This phone is the one item I can’t live without
When I leave home
So much depends upon
My wireless connection to the world
My cell phone which I can not live without
A Dream Such As This…
If I could dream a perfect dream such as this
I’d dream a place where we kiss
A dream filled with pure bliss
I’d dream a place of starry skies
And such a day when I can fly
A place where I can praise, oh bye and bye
I’d create a dream where I was never blue
I’d be in a world that was on cue
And such a place where all people were all true
And where I’ never be without you
If I could dream a perfect dream such as this…


Love the poetry girl!!! Vivid descriptions!!!
Your poems are so exciting. I wanted to feel sorry for your coffee mug. Its so purposeful and used, that it give me a hankering for some good coffee!
I loved ready your different poems. They define you very well.
I like the color words you employ in the poems…I can see you like rich descriptions.
Jeri, for this phrase about your coffee mug:
“Without it please, head my warning”
did you mean to write HEED instead of head?
