18/03/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation
Walking through the doors
There’s an unmistakable smell
Fresh coffee and old books
And just a hint of freshly baked cakes
The chairs are big and comfy
Like grandma’s warm embrace
And the service is friendly
And they’re always up for a chat
Sometimes I go in for breakfast
Bacon, eggs, sausages, tomatoes
A book of poetry with well-worn pages
And a large cappuccino to sip
It’s a good place to people watch
On a sunny weekday morn
The park across the path bustling
With kids before they head to school
When I meet friends for lunch
Chicken salad with sweet chilli sauce
And a cool class of fresh lemonade
Discussing the latest sporting memoir
It’s easy to lose track of time
And before you know it it’s been hours
Though it’s never a problem
To settle in for half the day
On occasion, when I don’t feel like cooking,
I’ll savour a frittata and side salad
And a large pot of peppermint tea
With my favourite Stephen King
It doesn’t matter what time of day or night
It always feels like home
A little shop around the corner
That takes me a world away
This is lovely. I hope I find a place like this in my rural location 😊
