Carrie Richards Poet Quintain (English)

Notes About The Poem

Coffee House

~

The bliss of French-roast steam, arising,

gives me a moment to compose...

The thought of just one sip invites me

to close my eyes, and then transpose


It warms my thoughts, while I’m surmising...

It wakes my senses, then down it goes…

to thaw my brain, and warm my toes
