Two Triolets for my Man

Two Triolets for my Man

Poured a cup of coffee and softened it with cream,
Gripped by a mys'try book, first chapter's underway.
Hubby's gone a fishin', a long way off downstream,
poured a cup of coffee and softened it with cream.

Couch is comfy-dozy,  the time I must redeem -

kids are off at granny's with hopes to overstay.

Poured a cup of coffee and softened it with cream,
Gripped by a mys'try book, first chapter's underway.

 

Waking from a catnap, the book is on the floor;

head has found a pillow, my mantle keeps me warm.

Coffee has grown cold now, oh my, it's half-past four.

Waking from a catnap, the book is on the floor.

Hubby's making supper, I see him at the door

bringing soup and sandwich with chocolate cake to charm.

Waking from a catnap, the book is on the floor;

head has found a pillow, my man'll keep me warm.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
