Twenty-Nine Little Cups of CoffeeA Poem by Zoe RichardsonBeware what lurks in the shadows of loveLove is not A kind friend bending Lazy in the breeze It is not a flower Or gentle tidings Love is salt And wheat and New cut grass A good look in the mirror When you Don’t like what you see Love spanks the Air you breathe And what fills your lungs Is neither health Nor rain Do not be fooled Love is a jealous mistress Waiting impatiently At the gates For you to make A mistake Look but never Seek because those Words do not soothe And unless prudent You will inhale A black wanting Withering and helpless On the vine © 2023 Zoe RichardsonAuthor's Note
