Thursday Club

Reserved' sign on Table One,
so crave that morning sun,
to get out, to get about,
debating whose turn to shout.
When we meet it's a weekly scene
of what we've done, and
where we've been.
Coffee's calling,
it's such a creed, but
way beyond simple need.

Coffee sets for a brighter day,
meeting friends in that little cafe.
People come, people go
some we meet, others we know,
sipping coffee on the go
they fade into the day.
I love watching people in the street,
rushing by on busy feet,
they come to talk, to stop awhile,
their various lifestyles.

We've been meeting since
I can't remember when, and
a lot has happened
from there and then.
Thursdays seems to
be the day, when
all seriousness goes astray.
Through the years friendships rare,
in help, support they're always there.
Catching up the weekly news, and
what's a week without
a joke or two.

Her beautiful smiling face,
just a happy, friendly place.
I saw a dog, now my day's complete,
looking expectant at their
master's feet.
Sunny days, raining too,
that coffee maybe home delivery, but
will always get through.

There’s truly something about coffee shops I love. It could be the hum of voices the clank in kitchen the waitress taking my order the smell of eggs and coffee just the buzz in it
I usually go alone though
It’s great you go with friends. Hope you well. Loved your write

Hi Julie
Thank you for reading of 'Coffee's Calling.' Thrilled you like it. I too, love my coffee shop, but really live for that weekly connection, even if we are in contact or see each other daily. I hope that you and I could have a coffee some day :) :)
Me? I'm okay, still working at walking again. Such a long journey, so frustrating, but one day. Despite, I'm happy and loving life.
Happy Christmas my friend.
Take care
Richard

Coffee connections and fading into days… such is a contemporary life! Dog walking and grocery shopping can be similar as well. Stuff of our days. Pleasant read, Richard 🙏🏻🕊

Ah, one of my favorite personal luxuries. I enjoyed this tribute to our dark morning rescuer and sometimes pillar of sanity. Great read!
