Coffee House

My coffee, my house, cinnamon and hint of clove in a full bodied french roast... acrid, bitter, pungent deliciousness wafts thought the air before even the eyes are open the buzz of conversation over the tinkling of spoons stirring the clanking of cup on saucer the shooshing of steamy cream into cappuccino a lush, rich aroma, with the feeling of rightness around the edges like a cozy blanket of comfort wrapping around your shoulders Sipping in silence, watching the sunrise, simple serenity to start the day. ©6/18/12

I love a good coffee poem, Trudy. The best part of this poem is the imagery that surrounds rich aroma you penned well... Even I'd like a taste of cinnamon and a hint of clove... Linda

Trudy, great to read your work this evening. This might be the first poem I have read of yours. Here's what I like about your winning write...the only object making noise is your comforting brew... an onomatopoeia delight!! ....I wonder if anyone wrote of the health benefits of coffee...Still have a few more to go! Congrats again. gwendolen

This is a real honor for you to say so, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, the cinnamon makes all the difference in the world, I just a teaspoon in the grounds when brewing.
