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.

This is fantastic! Such a simple yet elegant story, beautifully written! And I don't care what people say, coffee ought to be a food group of its own!

This is an awesome story. This was a special encounter.
A bit of magic in the working.
