Vacuous thoughts rise
– then becoming prosaic
Never surrender!
Clarity comes with coffee
– so life has meaning again
Shared with Tanka Tuesday using synonyms for mindless and humdrum and reflecting the struggle to write before coffee and the ability to conjure words after coffee!

Yes, coffee helps… clarity and meaning… It’s one good start.
I appreciate how you used the prompt words and like the clever tanka that arose. Grateful for your participation. Sending blessings.

I don’t think writing is possible before coffee for me. Perish the thought!

Likewise, and as a side effect, now I don’t feel good unless I’ve done some writing too!
