Ode to Caffeine #1091

fresh ground organic
shade grown in the USA
brews great espresso

pieces of paper
printed with words and pictures
but saying nothing

Two Score

looming down the road
calls to question all I've done
here's the big four oh

Senate Sucks

no public option
middle class gets nailed again
health insurance blues

They might shatter

freezing cold fingers
make texting haikus so hard
while waiting for busses

Downtown Morning

early morning fog
hides downtown high rise
peaceful Square morning

Sherlock

pugilistic Holmes
fighting crime and kicking ass
with sidekick Watson

Port Blues

cargo ships at dock
unloaded by union cranes
dot they take things back?

Sooooo tired

bed cries out "don't go"
I listen and roll over
work will wait a while

Work = Rent

a light day at work
means less money in the bank
and rent day trouble

Wrong Place Wrong Time

frustration built up
rage released, resulting in
a dead pasta box

Failing Boss

bosses should not spend
more time showing how they boss
than bossing people

The Masters

age weighs heavily
on thoughts about the return
to seek the Masters

Not Happy

birthday dinner out
clobbered by the Elephant
too much Newcastle

hero draws focus
to the flaws within myself
not easily fixed

Lattes by Kerrie

beans ground fresh at home
espresso married to milk
caffeine made with love

Seattle Winter Bus Commuter Blues

pacing back and forth
waiting for the damn late bus
freezing my ass off

Drunk Toss

drunk guy falls asleep
leans his head on his neighbor
tossed by bus driver

Early

bitter cold, breath seen
ice puddles litter the ground
winter is early

Winter View

fog rolls across Sound
snow decorates the Mountain
beautiful morning

No Power Blues

sittin' at Zeitgeist
runnin' low on power
no outlet plugs free

Alas

high on espresso
looking for inspiration
but no luck so far

Lunch at Ralph's

roast beef and cheddar
dill pickle slice on the side
almost New York lunch

Typical Artwalk

people wander through
glancing superficially
drinking artists' wine

Pug Day

wrinkled black faces
curly tails bobbing behind
smiling as they stroll

Relaunch

relaunching the blog
committing to a whole year
haiku every day
