Simplicity, color, texture, expectation -- all in 12 words. Amazing.
To borrow Kathleen's phrase, iLike!
Simple and raw! i like this..:)
nicely played...i wonder who or what else waits for us...smiles. nice one shot!
I like that form - and the poem is just right!
iLike2... and it's only 12 words. Nice!
Ah..takes me to the red wheelbarrow of Wm Carlos Williams. Feels like it too. Not quite as mysterious but equally imagistic and fragile feeling. Excelllent. Thank you.

Lovely words and image! =D~ I love the cup that place a smile on my face:D
I liked this because your poetry is on my night-stand.
Now I want to try! looks like fun. I like the picture to go with the poem. It's really quite amazing how much beauty there can be in a stained cup.
I love how much is contained in these words...such strong imagery! Remarkable--rules followed or not ;)
Great imagery and lovely oneshot :)
Oh, I love this. And the photo is whoa.
I must try it.
Simplicity at its best. Liked the way you brought it to the end.

I agree with everyone here... Less is more. Love and Light, Sender
I'm borrowing Kathleen's phrase too.
I like!
Lots!
It works. I love minimalist stuff!
nowhere island
I got a chuckle out of this because I'm eating lunch and I always have yogurt (and always rinse out the cup so I can recycle it)
The form is almost like haiku - simple and elegant. Well done!
WORD VERIFICATION: barypo
DEFINITION: the opposite of baryrich
I checked out the five line poem...so cool! She got me when she said to break the lines where you would pause to draw breath (or something). I like the natural way that breathes :).
What a memorable piece! Impressive.
a most enjoyable piece.
masterfully done!
simple but good :)
red-free...
i find such sanctification in these words.
lovely.
for so few words this was so full of description...and as glynn said..all in 12 words..amazing..cheers pete
this is beautiful - can see the white cup right before my eyes - how much you said with such few words - really like it - glad you tried..
This is exactly what I love about poetry . . . it forces you by its very nature to be precise with words. Yours, L.E.'s, they are both just lovely.
i love this! it is so simple and yet I pictured each aspect of it. Very cool!
Oh lovely. And I like this form -- it seems freer (more free?) than the traditional Haiku.
Ask me when I see you what this makes me think of.
