Coaster under glass
catches sliding sweat droplets
from icy goblets

To Your Taste
Ketchup or mustard a squirt of each, or blended, French fries to your taste A fun poem with the 5-7-5 format. Perhaps you prefer Ranch dressing, or plain fries...try mixing a dot of mustard with ketchup. Better yet, buy Portland Organic Ketchup. You can eat it with a spoon! Ketchup from Portlandia. 😁

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Living here in Florida I’ve spent many lazy afternoons watching idly as icy pearls of condensation slide down my glass…Great job Andrea!
loved your use of the term goblets - never hear that word enough these days
Everything can be so inspiring even the coaster
Love the rhyme you incorporated! Very clever and fun to read!
Oh wow, thanks so much Paul!!
Oh this is lovely...I think because...it conjures up a fair few different images...different stories could be derived from just those three eloquent lines. the rhyming is brilliant and in my head I'm now thinking is it first date sweat nerves or maybe serious conversation sweat nerves or maybe it's a business pitch situation...see...I'm now digging into the backstory lol based on just three lines - nicely done, Andrea!
I enjoyed your story.
Oooo, this was fantastic! Loved it so much!
Loved it
I love this!
Lovely!
