Rain drops in our coffee

Rain drops in our coffee

We bid farewell on a rainy day,
at Cafe de la Rotonde we frequent.
Underneath one umbrella we gaze at the ashtray
Through its shiny surface we see  bent and dent.
A moment we are flooded with words to say,
but our tongues fail us motionless and silent.
Upon a gust rain goes sideway,
into our cold coffee it descends.
So we finish our coffee in the rain,
that tastes like warm, bitter, and salty grains.

• 不錯的小詩，建議最後一句可以再含蓄些，或者不要，可以說 taste like coffee with rain, 讓讀者想象它的 -天玉之- ♀ (17 bytes) () 06/28/2021 postreply 23:23:07
