Premium Member Things That Irk Me

Here's some things that really irk me
They must irk some of you guys too
Loaded baskets in those Express Lanes
My face turns a scarlet hue

Imagine the gall of some irksome drivers
Doing fifty in a fifty mile zone
What is it with these bunch of yahoos?
Probably gabbing on their phones!

When you order a cup of hot java
At your favourite coffee shop
And it turns out to be luke warm at best
You wanna give the server a pop!

Another one of my little pet peeves
Pill bottles that are made seniors proof
You get a hernia trying to open these things
The inventor was on some kind of juice!

Playing along with the clues on Jeopardy
Interrupted by some breaking news
Unless the world is actually coming to an end
It can wait till the end of the clues!

Bugs me when some guy in a big fancy car
Takes up more than one parking space
These a-holes need to be straightened out
Love a word with them face to face!

Ahhh! It sure feel a whole lot better now
Once I got these things off my chest
Life is too short to let these things bug you
They're minor annoyances at best!

Premium Member Bitter Coffee

Through tinted glass, I see cars have lined up outside, like a java-thirsty snake who waits to strike at the employee working the drive-through window.
I take a last dreg of coffee, then vacate the table for another caffeine addict to indulge in some dark-roast creation, while reaching into my purse for keys. Someone touches my shoulder and I turn.
 Out of aromatic filled haze,  her soft voice speaks into my ear, using my maiden name, which seems foreign to my own ears. It comes as a riddle, with question mark  at the end, as if it were floating inside a bubble. 

dust motes mingle with
the steam of French roast coffee....
someone drops a spoon

She slips into the empty place across from me, and I see familiar, but strikingly older, hazelnut eyes.  They hold something unsettling, sad and seem peppered with weight. But she shows me a wan smile buried in a sea of nerves.  She was an old friend, a good chum.  How long has it been?
Just as I am about suggest a plan, a date to meet for lunch, she's running late, and must hurry, and has started closing the gate again. 

espresso ripples 
with element of surprise ....
an old acquaintance

We walk out together, ... I open the door for her, while she carries two capped coffees,  and starts to head across the lot.  We say a quick  goodbye, I take care not to spill her load, as I gently hug her goodbye. She walks away in a rush, climbing into faded red truck.  An unsmiling tight-lipped man , reaches over to the inside latch to open the door, that seems to be missing a handle on the outside.  I hear a harsh, husky voice ask "What took so long?",.. loud enough that a few people glance their way. She smiles weakly, and doesn't look back to say goodbye.

under old tires
leaves are crushed into small bits...
a whirlwind of dust

my cell phone vibrates
someone misses me from home ....
sun breaks through the clouds

Premium Member I Need My Cafe

I must, MUST have my café in the morning
      but there is no time to make it
        in my coffee maker.
           so I buy it
             brewed
             and hot
          at the local café.
        And I rush off 
      to my dance class
paper cup in hand and feeling darn good.

Oh yes, I need my fix in the morning
      I spin and twirl and leap,
        then its home again
          but first I must
            get a cup
            of java
          black and smooth
        for that walk
     well more of a stroll,
and then I can ponder poems to write.

Premium Member during take-off i shouted, 'GODSPEED, JOHN GLENN'

the plane ascended.
i yelled it.

this straw in the wind; fly fly fly
i felt it was a necessary affectation 

to ensure a safer flight
or rather a calmer form of passenger

bring out the java
i want to ride the bean

we soar, slope upward 
i greet the turbulence 

with grit
i summon over a flight-attendant and 

offer to help up there with the pilot
she politely turns down my offer

and the choppiness subsides
but i still want a role

give me valiantness, worthiness, nobility 
and astropolitics 

we thank the crew as we disembark 
i look into the flight attendant's helium-3 eyes

'when men are arrived at the goal, they should
not turn back.'

i was stopped at immigration for four hours

Premium Member Dreams Dissipate

Staring into java, contemplating life’s journey in the murky swirl of cream
Blowing ripples, as steam breathes life into foggy recesses
Clearing cobwebs, allowing thoughts to clarify as day begins.

Taking a sip, a sigh escapes as I lean back into masses of pillows
Eyes closed, I listen to the ticking from my antique clock in the hall
A bong alerts me; my time is at a premium.

Sunlight peaks beneath the blinds and sneaks into my room
Chasing shadows and dreams back into the closet to await the night
As I finish the last of my elixir, stretching, uncovering from my cocoon.

Padding to the mirror, I stare back at the stranger I have become
My dreams of being an artist, splattered like slashes across a canvas
Replaced by a lab coat, calculations, stats and calibrations.

Premium Member And On the Seventh Day

God was so pleased with his six days of creation
The seventh day He declared a day of rest
Bound to have some heavenly
Well-deserved relaxation

As soon as He woke up
He brewed a cup of java and 
Set up his most comfy Adirondack chair
On his fluffiest favorite cloud

And so on this seventh day
A most magnificent morning unfolded
Watching from every conceivable angle
One glorious sunrise after another

By noon for Sunday brunch
God challenged his angels to make
The tallest fruit salad unimaginable
For a rendez-vous on the Hawaiian islands

The first summer games
Were held that very afternoon
Playful racing with dolphins
And swimming in the seven seas

Then dusk began to fall
All were cordially invited to board
The fabulous celestial party bus
For a ‘round the world premiere trip

Westbound capturing one endless sunset
For hours and hours of a colorful joyride
Ending with a final detour to the north
For a late night aurora borealis show

Premium Member Coffee

Ground for ground why I never, 
Needed any feedback other than 
The sultry taste, the warm goodness 
Saturating my cunning senses:
 
Within the wee hours of the morn, 
Where dawn sleeps in, catering to
My desirable need for a java rush. 

Poured o'er smooth creamy delights, 
Instant gratification abodes, why I'm 
quite smitten with this mouthful of joe.

Hints of hazelnuts caramelize dazzled, 
By coconuts, wondering how the hell,
The rest of the world is simply sleeping.

Through my sudden arousal for roasted, 
Award winning kaffee, aroma nestled 
To perfection, calming ,comforting noir.

Premium Member I must have promised

I must have promised to diligently strive
to get up each morning by half past five.
Drink my java, watch the news, keep
things quiet and let her snooze..
Wash up at our bathroom sink but keep
the faucet trickling so she gets a full drink..
Serve her a chicken pate dish, never meat
and seldom fish..
If I'm met with defeat offer a few temptation treats.
Brush my tresses and her hair, bless her with
a St. Anthony prayer..
Once the sun is fully up, let her out to strut her stuff..
When I forget or show some slack, I'm actually snubbed
by my very own cat!
I'll be sticking with this cat's agenda, heaven forbid I
might offend her..

Premium Member What I Accomplished Today

The bright sun chasing night awakes me with delight
Arising from my sleepy state is a terrible plight  

Dragging forth to brush my tangled pressed down gray hair
Eyes barely open, stumble forth needing java juice and air  

Turned on the computer to check emails and such
Drinking decaf coffee and answering emails but no rush

Breakfast soon was eaten devotion time swiftly spent
A few chores to straighten the house and even make a small dent

Bath time my daily spa, let the warmth penetrate
Dressed, ready to go ~let me face the day and not be late

A few errands need to be handled while in town
Lunch with my husband gives no reason to cause a frown

Grocery shopping to stock up on cleaning supplies and food
A task not really enjoyed but I let some joy exude

Afterwards I needed some rest and quiet time
Watching a movie that was not the best which was a crime

Facing the inevitable soon came to our life
Putting Cody on the Greyhound  cut me like a sharp knife

Bedtime very late exhausted from the busy day
Tomorrow will be another list hopes of time to play

Krishna Has An Ink Effect In Our Greater Supplication These Days

Krishna has an ink effect in our greater supplication, these days!

How come?
From when?
For quite a few days! Since I returned from Bangladesh.
It seems quite a hazard! 

Are you in truce with your landlady?
That is another epic ! An enormous one !
Attuned harmony, cryptocurrency in scripted Java, and Architectural Parthenon, ding dong, in ping pong

And I simply pondered
Which trash can served the son
In serving chores for "Tapati" , the grandiose mentor?

O, Fix yourself, just look at you!
You are just an advertised face of Sandalina Sandal soap , these days!
Have you ever washed your holy month of Sha'ban, 
of days bygone? 
Or a pure "Miswak?"

How far are you? In your own mirror?
Till the recorded reels are disposed, 
to the fullest extent!
An unknown rural tune is surmising in only fluke news

A floating trochaic, in enormous hypes!
