I'm a big fan of drafting poems out in the wild! Right now, I'm working from a library. It has a lot of the same advantages of a cafe, lots of people not interested in talking to you, with the added bonus of book stacks you can wander when you need to pace around
“Magic” iis just that. I hope what happens next is more of YOUR MAGIC.
“Annoying Lovers”—“endlessly twitching”…”as if they enjoy display”…the ostentatious disregard of
all things not themselves”.
I remember reading your first one 12 years ago and this one is an additional bonus!
I'm so lucky to have you for a reader, Looocinda! ❤️

Libraries rule! Short on coffee and bagels, however....
True. That is a major shortcoming
An origin tale for the exclamation
“Get a room!”
Both very evocative of the cafe writing room!
:-)
Good stuff, I liked them both.
Thanks, Weston - I'm glad!
café patios and coffee shops. So interesting, so comfortable and a wonderful place to get inspiration
And a great place to hang out with friends, as well. As we know! :-)
Wonderful! Am now heading out to my patio table on a sunny afternoon with my notebook in hand. I expect we will fall in love again (and again).
Perfect spot for a lovers' meeting, Marlena. I'm thinking of you at the patio table.
What you write is truly magic! I liked how both poems developed and I envy you the ability to write in such an atmosphere.
Thank you, Rose!
Some days a cafe atmosphere is more challenging than others, but when it's right, it's right.
Wonderful poems, again. New word for me: ensorcelled. Love it.
Such a useful word! I'm glad you like the poems, Terri.
