Dark Sunrise

The cup reminds me I’m getting older The coffee hints A bit more bolder No milk, no cream Just pour it steamin’ Caress the warm cup While I’m dreamin’ The last sip cold I’ll gladly slurp And thank it loudly With a burp

What a fun, lighthearted read. I'm lifting my coffee cup to salute your words and wait - wait - nope, no burp to be heard. Really enjoyed this wee write ... CayCay

You were so deep in thought enjoying the warmth of your morning cup that I wasn't prepared for your burp. lol John. A warm opening and a cold ending that left me smiling.
