Spilled Coffee

At the shopping mall
Coffee in my hand
Along with a scorn
I choose a table
To enjoy my treat

A loud noise s
is heard
It had startled me
Coffee in my hand
Then landed on me
From my top to slack

A horrible mess
Tried to clean it up
Did the best i could
Stains did not wash off

So spent the whole noon
Shopping in stained clothes
Till i found a new top
Replaced to wear

That horrible mess is anger I am trying to get rid of. Happens too often so I bought 10 spill proof cups and take it with me like a part of clothing. No one ever complains not even restaurants. Nice write

For me the coffee represents the balance we strive for in our lives and the spill along with what caused it is the irony.

Not at all a nice experience, Darlene, but these things do happen and they ruin our day. I hope you at least managed to eat your scone before moving on. Regards // paul

You turned an embarrassing situation into a lovely poem Darlene. Sorry this happened to you but at least you bought a new top and wrote a new poem about it.

Fortunate for you it was not spilled milk. I have heard that spilled milk leads to crying. I’m glad it led to a new outfit, great problem solving skills and a fun poem.

I hate it when that happens. I spill coffee all the time. It can be embarrassing at times. A good read:)
