COFFEE HI

Purchase at the coffee shop
a few eyes and smiles
greet me as i blend in
with cream and sweet n' low
i sit and sip slow

and then came a question
from a woman beside me
that i didn't know

"What are you writing?"
and i reply...

"I write of sunny days,
the sea and air
or of death and despair
of rainy nights when trees are bare
for struggles and humanity when no one cares
like wondrous old tales left on a rocking chair
from the darkest thoughts to skin so fair
the loves I've shared
and of love impaired
expression is rare
poems i share"

and then she grabs my pen
and on my pad she writes

TELL ME MORE...

A very good poem. I have met many new friends because of my pen and writer tablet in a coffee shop. I like the coffee shops. People seem to be more relax and more willing to share a conversation. Thank you for a excellent poem. I like the way you ended this poem.

Hello poet. I like the way you talk about the simple things.

Wow. This is so awesome! I love how it switches.

What a beautiful piece of fresh air. Such a nice feeling when you share a simple intended thought with someone else. Beautiful piece.

Oh wow Rene. We have something in common.....I sit in a little park outside of a hotdog stand near my job each day at lunch and I write. Many people come through and some ask what I'm writing. I read to some of them and I sing my songs to some of them. I was rather embarrassed the other day when a guy I didn't remember came in the restaurant where I work and wanted me to sing to his sister like I did in the park. OMG!!!!!!!!!! they don't need to know these things at work. Loved your piece........:)

I love the ending, it caught me by surprise. In every poem you write, there is always more to tell. Perfect words, brother.
