Morning Coffee – 2 for Tue

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for my take on the web-wide famous Two-for-Tuesday posting theme. Today, I thought to relate it to my Conference experience.
Those who are close to me know that I’m spending the week at a company event where we’re staying at a nice hotel complex and doing lots of seminar/workshop stuff. Contrary to my habits, today I woke at 5:30 and out of habit, I needed coffee. That I got at the Lobby bar and brought up to my room.

So far, the day’s been nice. I handed out T-shirts, badges, pens and other conference supplies to various colleagues, booked a massage, signed up for seminars and haven’t had any relief from my cough.

Morning coffee brought me “luck”…

Here is my twosome

Morning coffee brought me “luck” –
and I’ll interprete it this way:
even though near the highway,
most likely, I’m not getting hit by a truck.

The mood, as you can see, is great. The outlook for the week is also nice. Let’s see how it goes.

Rhythm, Day 24

NaPoWriMo, Day 24

1. Acrostic Only, SW – Rhythm

Rhythm rules the abyss

Hailing over dead wood

You wasted time alone

Timeless patterns get you

Hunting on your own

Mindful, random and forlorn.


2. Poetic Asides – Morning 

Blue highways
Rolling over
Your sleepiness 

On that blissful verge
Your dreamy blinks abide 

Still sleepy self can feel
The blue outside
Where birds are chirring 

Is there coffee steaming?

Tea or Coffee? Cats or Dogs? Rain or Snow – Nov PAD, Day 9

2011, Nov PAD Chapbook Challenge, Day 9 – *blank* or *blank*

*

Rain or Snow?
It depends.
Drenching shoes and sticky clothes
Vote for snow,
(Or else, for sunshine.)

Tea or Coffee?
It depends.
Parching thirst and sweating heat
Call for tea.
With A/C on, it’s time for coffee
On and on.

Cats or Dogs?
It depends.
If drenching, drizzling shoes and clothes
Are not a real stop for you,
Most probably you have a dog.
