Coffee and Tea Poetry Blast

Some creative rhymes from readers of the Times . . .

Darjeeling’s
Appealing

Espresso
No less so.

cold hands around tea
warm heart around me

— Anna

In vino
veritas
In coffee
amoritas.

Hot cups
Ease warm-ups

Warm drinks
Forge links

For social engagements, I do know
Wiskey is fine
Wine is devine
But Cafe esta numero uno.

The way to go?
A cup of Joe.

A cafe-au-lait
will clear the way,
but finish the task
with a shot from a flask.

— Howard





Van Gogh's Cafe at Night

This wikipedia article on Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night (Cafe Le Soir) is cool to read!

The cafe has been renamed, Cafe Van Gogh, and can still be visited today, in Arles, France.

The painting is at the Kröller-Müller Museum
in the Netherlands.
