Holiday Haiku

coffee ringby Allen McGill (bio after poetry)

frosty winds~
wafts of steaming
cinnamon coffee

winter chill~
hands clutched tightly
’round a coffee mug

lips and nose
tipped with latte foam
specks of chocolate

coffee al fresco~
a hummer over my shoulder
then gone

steamed windows
the smell of brewing coffee
everywhere

luscious aroma~
the raucous sound
coffee grinding

in a glass, a cup
or a massive macho mug
it’s COFFEE

cappuchino, on the rocks
Turkish, French or demi-tasse
it’s a coffee world

mocha madness~
on each and every corner
a coffee bar

energy and verve
stamina and vigor
the gifts of coffee
