Written for:  Poetics Aside, Prompt #633

"For this week's prompt, write a warm up poem. The poem could be about doing a warm up for an athletic activity or live performance. Or it could be about warming up a room with a fire; maybe warming up a relationship. Take it as you will, but then, write your poem!"


Sipping coffee,
simultaneously reading
poems by whichever poet
I have chosen for 
the week.  I sip, 
I read, as coffee
cools down to
unacceptable.  Because
I never have breakfast
too soon after waking,
it becomes a necessity
to reheat my coffee
in the microwave for
thirty-two seconds.  
Perfect!
