Sipping Tea in a Rumi Morning

I have so often sat down to write poetry, and all that I actually wanted to do was to sit quietly and do nothing. Sipping tea, getting into my routine, crossing a street, looking out of a window, untangling a small problem, pointing out something beautiful to a loved one.....as I sat on the edge of an evening, and watched a bird delirious in its abandonment and random flight, I knew -  even an unwritten moment could be a poem. And our life is full of poetry, if only we open ourselves to it.   This is Uncut Poetry's 50th episode.   I've been with you every week with a new poem. And it's been a journey of discovery as much for me as it has been, I hope, for you.   Thank you for trusting me, and returning to Uncut Poetry, week after week.....   I want to give you a gift, absolutely free, a beautifully designed chapbook of some my poetry. Just because you have been with me.   Do go to the link below for this -  <a href='https://linktr.ee/UncutPoetry'>https://linktr.ee/UncutPoetry</a>   There's so much still to discover.   <p>I am a poet based in India. My book of poetry 'Of Love and Other Abandonments' was an Amazon bestseller. My second book 'Of Journeys & Other Ways to Get Lost' is just out. Both are available as Kindle on Amazon.</p> Follow me on Instagram at <a href='http://www.instagram.com/sunilgivesup'>@sunilgivesup</a> Get in touch with me on <a href='mailto:uncutpoetrynow@gmail.com'>uncutpoetrynow@gmail.com</a>
