We decided on coffee and dessert.
Those two pair up quite nicely.
I think that you and I
pair quite nicely.
We had run out of coffee and
shouldn't eat a whole pint.
We had a few drinks
and kept talking.
We talked for hours about nothing
and everything while our
chatter blended into
one great night.
Submitted to Poetry Picnic Week 14: What I'm Thankful For
I'm thankful for my friends and boyfriend who inspired the spirit of this poem and the beer, iceream, cute martini glass and coffee that make up the story.
I enjoyed very much the "still life" photograph that you took, as well as your poem. It is so nice to have someone you can talk with like that, isn't it? Thanks for being part of Poetry Jam.

Charming words and perfect picture, especially the ice cream dish.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Those are truly rare and wonderful occasions, when 2 people can simply sit and talk and enjoy each others' company, completely unaware of time passing.
ReplyDeletenice...this sounds like a wonderful evening honestly...coffee is always good...smiles...i guess since we ran out some ice cream would do...smiles.
ReplyDeleteVery simple and effective -- very much sets and maintains a mood -- a nice poetic version of a still life!
