Corner Cafe

The aromatic smell of
coffee waifing through the air

small old man  in the corner
hunched over his newspaper

beautiful younger woman
hair pulled back
frantically types on her laptop

little girl in yellow sundress
stares in wonder at the sights
 and sounds

just another morning
at the corner cafe

Lovely post, Becca. I was almost there in that cafe with those people. Would you believe that I was awake in the night, thinking of your Blog and trying to make up some poetry in my head. LOL! I would get as far as the first two lines, then that was it!!!

Drake Sigar said...

Surely there's a rude crusty old waitress in there somewhere. :P

Reading this, I could picture myself in a little coffee shop and I could almost smell the coffee brewing. Lovely poem, Becca, as always.
