O'Henry's In Spring Of 2008 Poem by Monita Soni

Music blaring,
Skipping around coffee roast
Espresso machine swooshing
Loud laughter from high tables

A mother with her skim, no sugar vanilla late
Girls in walking shoes
Sporting make-believe Joe cups
Eeeya Eeya OOO

A study session
Serious bending, a hint of cleavage
The girl with her crystal pen
Catching the reflected light

Of flowering white Bradfords
In sun splashed Soho
Five wooden Easter bunnies
Sunday best with straw bows

The tipping bowl flowing
It is Spring.
