Book Spine Poetry

September 5, 2016

I don't think I have a "most prized possession", but I do own several things that I appreciate and treasure.  They include two coffee mugs that are my favorites.  They were once part of a set of eight that was given to us as a wedding gift.  While I still remember who gave them, the givers are not what makes them important.

I'm not sure why I love them so much.  They are average size.  One is blue.  One is gray.  Each is striped.  I like their smoothness with a bit of texture on the stripe. 

We recently moved and had to pack a lot of things away until we get a larger space.  These two mugs did not get packed away and are still part of my morning coffee routine.  I have other mugs, too, but these are my favorites and the ones I pull out most frequently.

If my house was burning, I probably would not grab them.  However, I would mourn the loss.  Maybe I like them because I've had them so long and have enjoyed coffee in them so many times.  I'm anticipating the tradition to continue.
