Dawn of a New Day

Morning Hope
The morning hopes for better days in early reflections and
first sunrays. No soda no beer will calm the fear, soothe the mind and make it
clear. Tope. The color of taupe, and a morning reflection of hope, awakens the
night and dawns the day.
Morning Hope
No ode to syrupy brown
Pop and fizz—not my biz
Condensation
Dripping brew
Off bottle brown
Nothing to see to
Barley and hops
Second at tops
Bubbly—no better than Brew
Water washes down
Better—when filtered brown
Through bean
And morning hope
Sweetened and creamed
To color of taupe
