Before The Postman Calls Poem by Ben Owens

Before The Postman Calls

Rating: 4.0


At the table I sit
drinking my green tea
from a stolen expresso
cup.

The tea bag floats
ever so gently in 
the center of the 
tea.

Extruding a soft green
colour to the pristine water
and, through the vapor,  
rises up.

Car horns outside are
dancing with the piano notes
waltzing from my radio in 
great glee.

Good morning.
What are we to do today,
I wonder.

Ben, love the imagery...especially the description captured in the 4th stanza. To me it appears you have a latent gift. Don't waste it! Cheers!
