COFFEE STAINED THOUGHTS

Feeding the nestlings she came up an inch-worm too short.

Soggy ink-stained signs muttered in the rain.

The old cat caught the scent of a mouse.

A cat has nine lives, a frog croaks every night, but a rumor lives forever.

Freshly crushed coffee beans mellowed in the mist of sunrise.

The silence was shattered by the roar of a mosquito.

His voice was lost in the echoes of his anger.

The snake moved slowly over the hot stone massage.

The naked truth need not be covered up.
