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

ReplyDeleteThank you Brian!
DeleteI ended up liking the prose description of the poem better than the actual poem myself. . .
I appreciate you reading and commenting. Blessings!
This makes me wish I drank coffee. I can't stand the taste but everyone else seems to find it so soothing. I guess tea is my thing
ReplyDeleteYou are missing out. . .
DeleteGlad I could help convert you to coffee, at least in a little way. . .plant a seed, if you will. . .
Thank you for reading Gretchen!
I'm just now discovering coffee in my senior year of college. I didn't know what I was missing! I liked how you kept it simple here. A lot of description in very few words.
ReplyDeleteAlex, glad you have joined the fellowship of coffee drinkers. . .
DeleteThanks for the encouragement. I hope to keep it simple in the future as well. . .
Thank you for reading and commenting!
Enjoy your Sr. year. . .
As a tea drinker, you made me consider what I might be missing. And then I thought of dark beer! Hmmm... where the mind does roam!
ReplyDeleteKim, that beer imagery was for sure in there. . . glad you picked up on it. . . keep considering the Java. . .
DeleteThank you for reading and for taking the time to comment!
