Coffee
Morning respite
Within my hands
Wafting pleasant, thoughtful notes
Peaceful
– SR Romney 2022
My favorite drink
My morning ritual
Something to do besides work
An excuse for conversation
Fuel for a looming deadline
A failed college career
A fond memory
An unhealthy addiction
Brown, opaque water
The roasted seed of a fruit
Coffea arabica or coffea canephora
Eighty to one hundred thirty five milligrams of caffeine
A drink
– Shaman Romney 2017
I stare into the darkness
Of my coffee
As my thoughts percolate
And drop their bitterness to the glass
I swallow them down
With no cream or sugar coating
And go about my day.
– Shaman Romney 2017
Without you, old friend
My life would be misery
Morning pleasure brews.
