You paint a lovely picture of a day inside, tucked up warmly as the sounds of winter are shut outside. Its a bit like that here today only its the sound of summer's monsoonal rains. Lovely presentation Melissa

The way the weather is acting up it is best to stay cozy at home and enjoy peace and quiet, Melissa. :) I'm happy you are doing some research reading a book and writing a poem. This is a good entry for the Minute Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent poem. I love the sound of your rhymes and meter, it doesn't sound forced and flows nicely. The poem has a calming effect.... very zen.
Well done!

Hello Barbara. I love the Minute form and I also love being in my nest during the winter... so I combined the two. LOL. Thank you so much!!

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is an excellent minute poem. My favorite line "evokes from me, calm reverie," makes me feel as if I am in a soothing bath of love and caring by those around me who love me and want the best for me. The picture of the cup filled to the rim with hot coffee adds soothing flavor to this piece.
I wish you well with the contest.

I'm so glad you liked the Minute poem, Jesse. I love this form and I love nesting during the cold weather, so paired them up and 'voila' a new poem. :). I'm delighted you liked it, my friend.

This is just delightful! And we who are retired can certainly enjoy those quiet moments. Or perhaps those, who are adept in scheduling their time wisely, know how to enjoy those moments of rest in poetry. Hope this does will in the contest!

Comment from Rachelle Allen
I've read a slew of these Minute poems now, and I really am growing to love the cadence they hold. This one of yours is especially appealing because of the Norman Rockwell picture it paints of relaxing with foam on your coffee, quietude, books, and the word "nest." Sounds PERFECT!!!
Best of luck in the Minute Poetry Contest!!

This is a very well written and rhymed minute poem and I very much enjoyed listening to it. It flows very well when it is read aloud. May you have a wonderful day and may God bless you. Patricia.
