The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Spilled Coffee

The coffee spilled as she went out the door
Now brown stains 'pon the carpet on the floor
It saturated her dictionary
Her poetry notebook~both necessary
A little mess that needs to be cleaned now
What would happen if today out she did bow
Entered into another worldly realm
As she so ponders being overwhelmed
Which is more important her writings dear
Or worn carpet 'pon the floor tattered severe
  

Finis'..

I do not know how you will finish this little poem, already dirtened by coffee, a stain quite difficult to remove, unless your imagination transforms this stain into some wonderful thought! I am expecting anxiously.
