Breathe

the air is scented
with swiss hazelnut coffee
a rich aroma
stimulating my senses
to drink it ... or just to breathe

A coffee company is located not too far from me. You should drive by there if you like the rich aroma of the stuff. Good write as usual Francine.

oh gosh, it's been a while since I saw your poetry if I missed this one. It's very pleasant. I am not a coffee drinker but I like its aroma when I enter Barnes and nobles book store!!
