Hygge (pronounced Hoo-gah) is a Danish word with no direct English equivalent. It is a cozy contented feeling that involves being in the moment, and feeling safe and comfortable.
Who knew a drink could comfort like a hug
The warmth of which permeates my soul
Freshly brewed coffee in a mug
This hygge feeling gives my heart a tug!
Pre-dawn moment makes my whole day whole
Who knew a drink could comfort like a hug?
I know, I know — caffeine is a drug
(I say that with a serious eye-roll)
Freshly brewed coffee in a mug
In my big house, I sigh and give a shrug
Aloneness — part of this season’s role
Who knew a drink could comfort like a hug
I curve my hand around, feel warmth so snug
Sipping joe, I write words to extol
Freshly brewed coffee in a mug
If I could advertise one thing, I’d plug
Java! Cuppa! Have some! I’d cajole
Who knew a drink could comfort like a hug?
Freshly brewed coffee in a mug
W3 Prompt this week: This week, let’s write a villanelle about enjoying your favorite beverage, whether alcoholic or not. What’s in your cup?
Here’s a link to my favorite villanelle of all time: https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/a-villanelle-for-national-poetry-day/

Great choice 👍 A fresh morning coffee makes for a great start of a day. ☺️
I tell people that it’s the most important meal of the day
It really is. 👍 I drink my cup every morning.
❤️ this, you are officially in the running 😁
Thanks, Matt!
A morning without coffee is like a day without hygge! 🫶🏼
