The Play Was a Dismal Flop

The play was a dismal flop
She went to a coffee shop
She saw the villain
In act of killin'
Scrumming in the room nonstop

The Islands Are Not Lonely

now,
(my) collection of poems
library
on the bookshelf
coming out
in backpack bag
at the coffee shop
into back trouser pocket,
I'm going to meet you.

Coffee Shop Bias

men used facilities at Starbucks 
but staff took an offence at their looks
policemen were called out
arrested without doubt 
now staff being referred to guide book.

Amber eyes bewitched 
Young gentleman in the street
Deciding to ask
The lady if she accepts 
To speak in the coffee shop

If I Were

If I were an English mum
I'd roll my baby in the pram
To the Costa Coffee Shop
Even in the rain

If I were an English dad
I'd wave them off with glee
Hop into my sports car
And date my secretary!


Teardrops And Coffee-Stains

At 
the bottom 
of every corner store 
and coffee shop mug, 

there is a collection of 
teardrops and coffee-stains.

Waiting 
to be gathered 
so they can write 
their stories in indelible 
ink.

Cappuccino

Frothy coffee looks so good,
While flat coffee looks so bare,
I love my cappuccino,
Two sugars stirred with care.

I have a special seat
In my local Coffee Shop,
It makes me feel so relaxed
When I hear those two cubes drop.

Words of the Poet

The poet is in the coffee shop,
jotting down words,
The words of the poet,
so surreal, so honest,
Words of the poet,
are read by many,
standing up on a stage,
speaking words into the microphone,
drawing the audience in,
the words of the poet...

Premium Member Coffee Shop Gossip

Methinks my writings are now all for naught In an unending spiral, I've suddenly been caught Is it my armpit odor Or just getting older Must keep up with the latest gossip in the coffee shops

Amsterdam

Right out side the coffee shop,
   Below St. Peter's hands
      The purveyors of indulgences
   Have set up little stands

And should some half-waked baker
   Come and stir about the pot
       The double-arched McDiocese
   Would (likely) thank me not.

The Coffee Shop

As the sun breaks upon the horizon 
they open the doors
and soon it starts to fill.
Farmers, hunters, and every day people 
fill the seats as the waitress pours. 
Some share their stories
others tell rumors .
All here for a cup of coffee 
and a hot breakfast.

Just a Latte

Sitting in the coffee shop
I am drawn by your beauty
Inspired
Touched
I sit and stare
Get lost in the glare
I lose myself
I take it all in
Losing myself to a dark sin
Mystical and dreaming
Dark and steaming
A man I could sink into 
A good book 
Yeah thats what I was thinking.

A Narrow Escape In the Coffee Shop

In the coffee shop
A mistimed twist
By the barista
Caused a hissing
Coffee jet to
Ballista towards
My sister and I
Worried it would
Hit her wrist and
Give her a blister,
But fortunately
It missed her.

The manager scolded
The ham-fisted barista,
But since no-one was scalded,
He didn’t dismiss her.

Moving Up To Go Down

I am slowly finding recovery is a penrose staircase
I climb, I step, and I see you on my walk to the coffee shop
you wore jeans and a black T-shirt you looked at me like your 
very existence should be an apology and suddenly
I am at the bottom of the staircase 
Climbing, stepping, climbing, stepping…

Writing Poetry In A Coffee Shop

      In the corner of a coffee shop I know,
      The sharp aroma of coffee fills the air.
      Among lowered voices subtle rhythms flow,
      Poetry in the cadence of voices there,
      Finding rhymes from vibrations in the air.

Man In Coffee Shop

A man came into the coffee shop
He sat there all alone 
Ordered just a cup of joe
He had no telephone
He seemed content and even nice
But had not one electronic device
No computer or Laptop or even a book
I think he might be some sort of crook
Clearly he’s creepy or maybe a rat
Because after all, who does that?

The Mirth

As they talked,
Emitting rambling laughter
Of subjects unknown
Silly
Light hearted actions
In forums
Of fun-filled and hearty
Leisurely chuckling
In the middle of the coffee shop
In a town not so unknown
A nonchalant indifference
To ones surroundings
A welcome,
To others in the coffee shop
To join in the mirth.
