    Poem Commentary

    Over breakfast I had a thought.

    Coffee

    The hot brown stream pours

    into a warmed cup with cream,

    lends its self to vapor curls

    of steady turning spirals

    above the empty breakfast

    with some poison for the cups

    The implication of two here is the meat of this poem. You are so subtle Polo. I love the twists here in a love poem. The metaphor gets deeper the more you read it. Nice bit of splendor I must say. A poet friend// RH Peat

    It is interesting the differing aspects that people take from this work. The subtlety allows that, I believe. The meat of this work is dense and rife with questions. It is certainly a love poem and with some of the dynamics love can hold, like the hands griped tightly around a cup.

    I am one who has long held the misconception that coffee provides manhood with the necessary nutrients (or poisons) to keep going. Your poem is brief and bouncy, like a good cuppa itself..

    In my country it proves the beginning of the day. It fortifies the men and strong women alike.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
