TANKA (National Coffee Day)

My favorite day!  Enjoy this tanka and the video, La Chanson du Cafe, from everyone’s favorite Cajun band  BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet:

Bright blue sky, white moon
Fading into morning mist
Dark consolation
Coffee smoothes the wrinkly day
Enriching timeworn burdens…

HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY (USA)!

Seem to have only written two poems about coffee that I will repost in honor of this grand day:

This one is mainly about music but coffee makes it so much better:
