steam.
she slips
the edge of my cup
dancing across my lips
& every tried touch
leaves wet, my finger tips
deep/rich
inhaling between sips
such sweet
obsession.
So, I have been MIA for a few days and feeling the withdrawals so posting a little early for these. My 160, linking up with Monkey Man and a simple (not my best) painting for my friends at Sunday Sketches. Figured it's cold outside, most places, so something a little HOT might be good...coffee....

There's far more than coffee that's hot about this post! I like the sketch. Simple fun.
gotta love that seductive steam!!! (smiles)
I just love how you are blending your Sunday Sketch and the Sunday 160. Great post, B. I will be up with my 160 one minute after midnight tonight.
Hot painting! Hot coffee! Hot poem!
love it!
thank you
I have to go make myself a cup of hot chocolate now!
I like your coffee sketch!
Drink it up.
Brilliant....coffee is good, as you know from my potluck...lol
Nice! I've always loved brown and blue together. And you know I love coffee. Drinking a cup is quite an intimate experience and you've captured that with your steam. :)
Hope you are well rested and full of turkey!
This made me warm! I also enjoyed the "ugly truth". Gave me reassurance!

Hi Brian,
Lovely description of steam.
There is nothing like a steaming cup of coffee on a cold day with its aroma spreading all around the room,caressing,touching,going through our nostrils reaching the brain,giving us a heady,dizzy ecstatic sense of happiness and joy.
Great painting inspiring me to imagine a hot cup of coffee with steam rising up on a cold day, surrounding and serenading me with its tender, magical touch and evaporating in the thin air to be lost forever and just leaving a stunning deep memory that lingers on in my mind hauntingly for a long time to come taking my breath away.
Best wishes,
Joseph
With the temps plummeting I find myself grabbing a cuppa more and more often. Nothing like it!
Great sketch and poem!
Love 'em both...and you're an artist.
Whew! I'm steamy just reading this! I love your sketch!
I love the double entendre, Brian. Hope you and your family are having a fabulous holiday weekend!
How do you cram so much into so few words?
"& every tried touch
leaves wet, my finger tips"....wow
mmmmmm
coffeee!

Now there's a rich metaphor! Brilliant. Love your painting too.
Ah, steam, that temptress... Great poem--great painting, Renaissance Man!
this was "steamy" :=) and now i go and have a cup of coffee..
Lovely drawing.;)
Yes it is freezing cold here indeed and tons of snow as well, so that steaming coffee heat is welcomed.;)
Have a nice Sunday dear Brian,
xo
There's nothing like a hot drink for creating poetry!
sitting at the counter just holding the sides of the cup while my hands warm...bliss.
Sweet & Steamy & Hot!
It seems this coffee in the morning sweeten by our sweethearts is contagious or is it addictive? Love your sketch makes me want to go get a cup of coffee right this moment.
LOL

Lovely -- sweet obsession!
A wonderful piece of poetry. Well balanced and delivering its impression well enough to have me feeling steam on my lips. Wonderful stuff.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Mmmmmm Coffee...
steamy hot!
Is that coffee or hot chocolate Brian? Either way....perfect little poem!
Great combo of written word and image. The colors are great in your Sunday Sketch! Very steamy indeed.
You know...you could sell these sketches with the accompanied prose. I'd buy one!
I have a coffee-obsessed man sitting next to me - best not let him see this or he'll be nagging for another cup!

this is a great painting...I really enjoy its simplicity
You are becoming a great artist-painter besides writing.
That steam getting out of that cup of coffee.. like your words out of your wise mind...
glad to have you back Brian! your drawing is lovely, looks like capuccino :-) and the poem just perfect for the cold days :-)
Your artwork really suits this cold Indiana weather. Ah...
I love your brilliant words. I could actually see and feel the steam that slides over my coffee mug. Great sketch too!
I love it, the painting is perfect with the poem and makes me want a latte so bad.....
I'm really into my kukicha tea these days...YUM...love the steamy imagery.
It's always comforting and warm chez vous.
Very nice Brian..both your words and the painting...I love my hot cups of coffee especially on these cold days. Happy Sunday!
that steamy coffee story...
she's a hottie!
Happy 160

My hubby is hot but is gone for the week so I will happily sit a spell with your words on my lips.

ok - being immersed in the mostly parenting life with a million Christmas projects, this is a good reminder of other things!
Yes, I love my coffee. Missed you, but I figured you needed a little time off. It's great to have you back.
The sketch is cute, goes so well with the poem.
mmmm steamy coffee! Looks yummy!
Wonderful. Made me crave my coffee ;-)
Regards ... Diamondsanddogs
oh so sexy! I noticed your absence but to be honest, it gave me the chance to catch up on your last posts - so you were present for me ;)
ps - My offer of buying your other sketch (the Morton salt) was legit...any thoughts??
don't know about 'not my best'--it's simple and a delight
Steam never felt so seductive!
Such a wonderful sketch and poem--makes me want to curl up with a cup of coffee!! Have a lovely Sunday :) ~Lauren
It's stuff like this that always makes me wish I could drink coffee.
Coffee lovers everywhere are nodding and smiling!
I love the sketch..something fetching in its simplicity
This warmed my heart.... The sketch rocks
Wonderful Brian, thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Hi Brian, I love simple shapes...and your poetry is wonderful! What a great habit to get into!

I enjoyed the simplicity of your mug art.

Oh, this is delicious, Brian. Hot coffee and hot!

FINALLY!!!!! Someone knows what it's like to drink and REALLY enjoy the perfect hot cuppa... hee ;)
Thank you for participating in Sunday Sketches again.
Ha! Another coffee addict!
So cool, only can you write a poem and also sketch about the same muse!
I love this watercolor. So pretty. I know that the internet world missed you while you were MIA! You add so much.
Whoa - it is hot in here! ;)
I absolutely love it!
oh this looks so warm!!! and inviting!!! I love my coffee!!!
A love the warmth of coffee first thing in the morning.
Good and hot!
I'm always amazed at how string-together words. Sometimes I forget you write about such commonplace occurrences.
I love this post. I love the poem. I love the sketch/painting. Fab!
Cool! Here's my sketch for Sunday http://thelunaticsdiary.blogspot.com/2010/11/heavenly-spectre.html

Oh yeah,
I steam,
for the java bean.
"inhaling between sips"
cradling the cup so close to my face, that my glasses fog.
Yep, I'm all about that too.
I love your painting.
Happy MIA.

Hi! Brian...
I'am an artist and I really like this painting because you have captured the warmth and colour of coffee in the cup...and the "taste" of coffee too in your poem.
Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D

you've been MIA?? don't use code language on me, please
Nice to contemplate a cuppa. I have a very similar painting, though it was not savored with words, like yours.
Good one. Glad to see you're keeping up the sketching.
is that your sketch???
I can't believe you do so much, your wife never stood a chance.
Poor thing.
Steaming hot!
yummmm...i love coffee. I like the pink hues in your sketch as well.
Excellent pairing Bri.
