One Deep Breath- "Coffee Haiku"


Checking email
caffeine boots up my hard drive

ready to begin



Awake in a fog
following the aroma
hot liquid lingers

These are great! I love, "caffeine boots up my hard drive"- absolutely brilliant. And, "following the aroma" this is exactly what I do. Wonderful job.

The first one is so funny. The problem for me is coffee boots up my hard drive a bit too much! The second haiku is lovely.

I'm not even much of a coffee drinker (I'm more of a tea-drinker), but I could almost smell the coffee reading your haikus! That first one is so clever, and the second one is lovely and cozy. Great job, Tammy!

The first one sounds a lot like me! I have noticed this week that everyone feels very strongly about their coffee or tea.

I finally finally finally answered your (and a few others) question on my blog today.

Jayne said...

Oh...I like these. I shared them with my assistant, we're both on autopilot in the mornings until the coffee makes its way into our bloodstream.

Amber said...

I loved these! cool. And pictures of your house always look so nice...Just like a home I would love.

Becca said...

Yep, that's me in the am - booting up along with the computer and my cuppa joe!

Loved those haiku...

LOL. I loved these haiku. I am so much the same in the a.m. Checking emails while the coffe brews.. beginning my day.

*Oh yes, you knew I had a perfect pic for the SPC. I only used it because my grand master plan for a great picture fell apart. I'll have a great one for next week.

Savoring my morning cup of coffee and finding your “Coffee Haiku” was a double shot. Thanks.

"Boots up my hard drive".

Hi Tammy, I bet you pushed a lot of laughter buttons with people identifying with this image. I sure did. Hugs, Annie
