Coffee Black liquid of love. Slightly too hot, more than too cold. I love you just the same. A whisper of cream, a tiny teaspoon of sweetness, your promise, a warm embrace, from my nose…to my toes. First thing in the morning, or when driving all night, you are there for me. Truck stops, fancy restaurants, rich houses and poor ones… all, places of refuge… a cup of “Joe” for a friend. Let’s sit and talk, let’s share a moment. You and me and the steam. We can speak of the day, or sit and pray… It is all good for me. Sharing with a friend, or sitting alone. The liquid swirls around… It never lets me down.

The only whisper in my coffee is from me saying thank you for being there for me each morning. : ) This was fun Ann.

It is always nice to have appreciation for the very smallest comforts that offer such huge rewards. Friendship in a cup... Ann

I drove 68 times round trip from AZ to CA 9 hours...one way. Once each month. The math is not worth doing, it adds up badly. Yes, coffee. Wonderful stuff. You meet the nicest people waiting to get a cup, going across the state. USA. Thank you Arturo... Your comments always cheer my day. Ann

What a different poem - such a great write about coffee which we all enjoy - however I suggest you don't try a Greek coffee - if you reach the end of your small cup of coffee, the muddy sediment must be left well alone! I enjoy one now and then but am careful ! Your poem floats through the air, like the steam that comes from an awesome cup of coffee - coffee is one of my best friends. Hugs, Jennifer.
