Coffee on the Veranda

Coffee on the veranda
I watch the first rays
breaking over the crowns,
of my birch grove.

A breeze comes up
and the leaves rattle
like freezing rain
tapping on my window.

With the dying wind
my roses bloomed
wafting me with perfume.

    This is just beautiful and I love the imagery. I'm happy to see a tribute to us coffee drinkers as well. Thanks for sharing in my contest.

    All three of my favorite things incorporated in this delight. I would love my coffee there too...

    Beautifully done with luscious descriptives. Nice sound with rattling leaves like freezing rain - I liked that very much. Thank you for a lovely entry. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

    A sense filled image... the coffee, rays of sunlight brushing the tree tops, a breeze rattling the leaves surrounding you in perfume.
    An amazing veranda.
