The First Cup Award

TheFirstCupAward

The First Cup Award is the simplest award to roll over, as it is not governed by the Internal Revenue Service’s Tax Code, The Ultimate Handbook of Censorship, The Rich and Powerful’s Rules for Dummies or any other source feigning authority over others except its own supreme yet admittedly unenforceable edicts to follow:

1. Copy these rules and this image to your award post,

2. Choose three (3) bloggers’ artistic works that could make you stop and ponder even if you’ve only finished your first cup of coffee, tea, juicer, alcohol or other beverage you normally partake of first thing in the morn,

3. Include links to these works in the award post and

4. Inform the artist of his or her wonderful award and supreme compliment to his/her artistic abilities…

THE FIRST CUP AWARD IS PRESENTED TO:

Very insightful and well-written, Pam’s “Reckoning Allusion”    dVerse Open Link #87 at:

Sarah’s poem superbly captured the needs of returning vets with PTSD, ”Behind the Closed Door” at:

Her stories and occasional poetry are wonderfully written and reflect a well-balanced maturity and insight far beyond her years, Daph’s “In a Parallel World” at:
