TWO SHORT POEMS ABOUT COFFEE

TWO SHORT POEMS ABOUT COFFEE

COFFEE COOLING

They sit there,
Forlornly cooling -
The forgotten coffees
In the office kitchen

Interrupted by
A telephone call –
No doubt some vital
Business deal


WHITE COFFEE, BLACK TEA

My coffee mug stains
When I leave the milk out

My tea mug stains
When I put the milk in

If I always drink
Black tea and white coffee

I need never wash
A mug out again


Martin A W Holmes, Oct 2016
