Deja Vous

- Premonition
A mirage foreseen,
Glimpsed in my rear-view mirror...
Closer than perceived.

- Envisioned
I've seen you before,
In silhouette, confident...
Waiting for someone.

- Remembered
Picking at a thread,
Not quite a memory, but...
Still in my conscious.

- Forgotten
Returning often,
To the day I first saw you...
Like in a vision.

.....Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring

Cup of Joe

- First Cup
Brew, Plunge, Percolate,
Morning ritual observed...
Elixir of life.

- Single-Shot
Caf, Half-Caf, De-Caf,
Espresso, mocha, latte...
Steamed milk, not too hot.

- Americano
Tall, Grande, Venti,
Served up with whipped cream on top...
Large drip coffee, please.

- Last Drop
Naked Baristas,
Delight drive-thru customers...
Don't forget to tip.

.....Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter

Bus Stop

- Hurry
Harried distraction,
Memory of sleep, like dreams...
An elusive muse.

- Inkwell
Daylight hesitates,
Unseen footsteps approaching...
A brief loneliness.

- Relief
Vague faces appear,
Through fog thick as musslin cloth...
Despair turns to hope.

- Freedom
Expectant silence,
While the huddled masses wait...
Steam drifts on warm breath.
