The Coffee Mug

The Coffee Mug Conspicuous trails Of coffee gone dry on mug Hot and fresh no more Cling like those few memories That mottle life's ceramic ! Copyright Anulaxmi Nayak, 2017 31st January 2017

I like the extended metaphor here. I also like the "mottle life's ceramic" both for sound and sense. Good poem.
