Reading My Coffee With You

Reading my coffee o’er a cup of poetry
                            or is it the other way ‘round
None-the-less, order to which I subscribe
                            no greater joy can be found

Thinking my lines while writing my thoughts
                            starts a new day with intent
Empathy, justice and sorrow and love
                           freely are borrowed and lent

One cup of poetry is not enough
                         some days, I simply need two
Those are the days that I beckon my muse
                             reading my coffee with you

This poem is sweet and gentle, Mike. Nothing is more satisfying that a cup of coffee with friends. The idea of "reading my coffee" is very satisfying. I like your poem a lot. It is going into my FAVED list.
