flame darts out
sparks
the first
early dawn smoke
slow coffee sip
bitter
black
cheap
settle down into
sagging porch chair
inhale
ponder
morning valley fog
through the mist
burst of warm colour
monk on a mountain bike
waving g'day
cigarette dangles
falls
good morning! *clinks coffee mug*
ReplyDeleteLovely. What a wonderful way to start a good misty morning - cheap coffee doesn't matter. Good old tired monk.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Oh, I LOVE that monk on a mountain bike, waving g'day!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother day in paradise.
ReplyDeletesmiles....inhaling a new day...i like th fog, it adds a bit of mystery...always good to have someone to share it with as well...
ReplyDeleteI felt like I was sitting right there with you. This was thoughtful and beautiful. We have fog today (a rarity in our area) and I had to go out and spend some time in it, shooting (photos) and just communing with the mystery.
ReplyDeleteHi Ollie... Hmm, a smoking monk kind of boggles my mind. A monk on a mountain bike not so much. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteNice good morning to you ~ Smiles ~
ReplyDeleteMay you be well, happy, and peaceful :-)

ReplyDeleteThis poem has such a great atmosphere. I always feel a sense of fulfillment when reading your poetry.
ReplyDeleteOllie,
ReplyDeleteWhat an image and then that bitter taste of cheap coffee!!! The sagging porch chair....Seems like a revamp might be needed:)

I have had to replace my previous Blogs with a new one, after finding my poetic content had been hilacked to another hosting site. Not very nice, but I am striving to continue!! http://mypoeticparlance.blogspot.co.uk
Brother Ollie,
DeleteThank you for visiting my Blog, following and commenting. Much appreciated:)
Have a lovely rest of week, during this autumnal lull. I hope that the Tired Monk is preparing for winter hibernation!!!
Eileen...
