Notes About The Poem

We all have our morning rituals, our day to day habits of coffee or tea, a smoke or a read of the paper. This poem tries to put that simplicity into thoughts.

Relaxing, Tranquil Start To a Day

Every morning we wake and sit in the sun,
Warming our legs since this day has begun.
Sipping our tea and having a smoke,
Talking about holidays and telling a joke.

One smoke becomes two and the tea becomes more,
Our rush to work stands up- walks out the door.
It’s a relaxing tranquil start of a day,
Our own little social morning doorstep café.

But then our dreams of travel and free
To a distant island in a distant sea
Reminds us we need to earn a buck 
So we pack up and leave wishing each other good luck.

True enough, and I have mine. The day starts with a cup of tea, then a cup of coffee at a favorite local café with maybe a pastry. Then it's back to my apartment and computer, waiting for my mind to dispense words for a new poem. Since I'm retired, I don't worry about earning a buck. Enjoyable read. Thanks for the stop. / M
