Tempting Fate Over Coffee

I buy my coffee and read a while
Get a refill
And then write a bit

But then there are mornings
In which I cast custom
To the winds

Let fate know
I give not
A whit

So instead I buy my coffee and write 
Get a refill
And then read for a bit

A daring change of habit
But one’s soul must at times
Be allowed to fly free

Am I a creature of habit
Oh no,
No…not me

Jan Allison Date: 4/6/2015 3:02:00 PM I can relate to your write :-) I like to go down to the local beach sit and listen to the waves and write ... other times I simply sit at home with my cup of tea - change of scenery and routine gets the creative juices flowing :-) Hugs jan xx Login to Reply
