a jolt of
black addiction,
as precious as gold
with a silver smile,
brightening mornings
more with the laughter
than the latte,
she sings
below the hiss of the steam.
Not realizing
that on this bleak Monday morning,
it's me she's singing for.
Voice contagious
with the sunshine
the clouds are hiding,
taking the edge off my June gloom
with the promise
of hot vanilla chai
and a soft sung smile.

Picture of early morning cafe ~ with the smell of coffee brewing.
A little morning cheer to lighten your day from that cheerful gal at Starbucks.
how you notice a small moment, savor it, and bring it to life in your poetry. Thanks, LJ.
very effective and well written! Thanks for sharing this gem!
I think you may know me. Its funny but I always sang when I made espresso. I loved the aspect of being the beginning of someone's day. Thank you for showing me this.
A nice eye opener this morning as I head out for a triple espresso. It takes a certain type of person to sling morning hash and they can make or ruin your day!
