To My Cuppa
Here we sit by a fire
The dynamic duo: Coffee and me
Dinosaurs of the old cliché,
“I was sitting in a coffee house
when this poem came to me.:
But that’s how it is.
Hands warmed by
ceramic cup, aromas of
roasted beans, baked goodies,
and the occasional
stinky college student
combine to create aMuse-ment
There is nothing so sweet
as a bite to eat and a sip of
my dearest co-conspirator

Food and Writing, Writing and Food. Yeah, that’s the call from Kim Nelson at Poets United. It inspired both the pictamy® and the poem. Food and writing are an inseparable combination… unless you prefer Drinking and Writing, but than try reading what you wrote the next morning, much less tracking down all the cocktail napkins. You know who you are, ha ha.
While the coffee is first with me, always, there’s a nosh… Right, Buddah? Also in the margins at my poetic lilypad, Imaginary Garden With Real Toads. Peace, Amy

You’ve said it right Amy! All told a companion on those solitary appearances, alone in a coffee-house. The little wisps of steam perfectly depicted in your sketch born of lots of inspiration.Perfect Ma’am, simple of sketch but grand of ideas and presentation! Great!

loved this … as I sip my coffee at an outside table in North Carolina… which is bloody cold so the steam is rising off the coffee…. 🙂

Ha. I am so old, coffee tries, but cant do the job all on its own any more. It needs to call in the Heavy Lifters – the doughnut brigade 🙂 Cackle.

Why are college students stinky? My co-conspirator would be a mug of tea. Love the play on aMusement.

Made me smile, Amy. Years ago I sat in a nearby coffee shop on a regular basis. It was blissful. You’ve inspired me to find a new haunt near my new house.

You bet. absolutely!! these coffee shops, I find, have enough to feed the muse in their noise too!:)
