Monsoon Coffee - poem

Monsoon Coffee

 

The old men argue whether we have monsoons

Or if our afternoon thunderstorms are unworthy

Of scientific labels, notations, or marks

To be discussed on the six o’clock news

 

Each day at four I take my coffee outside

To sit beneath the oak and take the air

With a book, the Wordle, or an empty mind

As thunderheads rise like monsters in the east

 

Fearsome clouds menace the sky-paling moon

And breezes wind themselves up for the daily monsoon
