This challenge asked us to meditate on a cup and examine a painting. I chose my favorite coffee mug. While observing it, I noticed aspects that I had not observed before. The style I chose is a gogyohka. I wrote five lines, and went with 6/7/6/7/7 for syllables to give it a rhythm.

My mug used to be red
Now it has beige striations
I see that it is glazed.
When I raise it to my lips
Drinking is like a kiss.
