Coffee Bean

From bean to brew

The roast, the grind,

The water—

It filters through

From cherries on trees

To peaceful aroma and steam

The nectar that puts us at ease

Our Coffees Have Become Famous

Our Coffees Have Become Famous

It’s not our friendship

Nor has coffee gone awry

It’s your paparazzi

They have gotten me shy

Morning Hope

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
