The ABC Wednesday Train rolls into station E this week, and I get down for a cup of strong coffee in the rain. 🙂 Want some Espresso, folks?
Silent pitter patter on my window sill
Clouded skies are my companion still
Drops of dew slide down the window storm
This silence does calm my mind a lot A fierce is
All heated thoughts shall stay forgot on
Mind storm washed afar by another out
Dark night I shall embrace real soon side
Through the cloud, shines the moon but
Escape from soul burning thoughts I now
Embers that sparkle even in water escape
A desire emanates so from within from
To dance in the rain, wash all sins one
Yet I’m unable to brave the storm within
So for now, my escape is indoors my soul
Under blankets, alone with tears
Escape with a mug of espresso
Handle is a separate line folks 🙂
Submitted to ABC Wednesday Round 7 – E for Espresso Escape and One Shot Wednesday at One Stop Poetry.
Ah!! Wouldn’t it be lovely to have an Espresso Escape on a stormy night?? 😀
Every cloud in the storm has a silver lining…and a Moon to shine through it.

This is so amazingly beautiful Leo! After reading your poem, i too feel like having a cuppa coffee 😉
But this part ‘Under blankets, alone with tears
Escape with a mug of espresso’ truly touched me!

Another wonderful work of art, every week I say the same thing, “How does he do it?” Great E post this week.

That’s a wonderful take on the theme. I enjoyed your poem and espresso photograph. I can almost smell the coffee beans surrounding the cup.
Ah, those lovely Espressos 😉 😀 glad u liked it Carver..!
Extra treat to have such wonderful prose with a clever arrangement of the words to illustrate the example! Brilliant.
Thanks Molokai.. It’s poetry, not prose 🙂 glad you liked the illustration..
Very poignant poem Leo, – and you have a nice handle on it!
Many thanks, Hildred 🙂 yeah, nice handle 😉
What a joy to apply senses during and after the storm…Please have a good Wednesday.

So clever and so original. I love coming here to see each weeks creation.
I love coming to your blog to see those photos too, Photowannabe 🙂 thank u for stopping by and liking the E Wednesday 🙂
You are really very imaginative! 🙂 Thumbs up!!!
Love that espresso and yes, when escape can’t be done outside, we can do within the confines of our comfort zone (bedroom) with a mug of espresso, but I love cafe latte or tea! 🙂
Good morning… 🙂
I’m trying to be imaginative Amity 😉 hope its working..
yeah, we have to turn inside for comfort at times.. glad u liked it 🙂
I especially like that single line forming the handle. It’s the one I kept returning to time and again.
thanks Cheryl.. yes, I kept returning to it too 🙂
so glad you added this to oneshot…i already told you how onderful it is though…smiles.
yeah, I link to OSW regularly now 😀 glad u liked it Brian..
Oh yes, L, coffee or not, that mug is hot! For me, the handle holds the brew….
yeah.. for this cup of coffee, that handle is so brew indeed 😉 😀 thanks very much, Carol 🙂
Wow! This was amazing, both parts! So creative, loved it! 🙂
I hope the “alone with tears” part was just poetic…because you’re not alone…look at all these wonderful comments!
thanks CM.. yeah, I know I’m not alone with tears, but then again, we all are alone in a bigger sense.. 🙂
glad u liked it..! 😀
Very creative use of format matching theme; well done!
thanks Steven 🙂 glad u liked it..
Beautiful. I loved the way you have arranged it.

Very clever! And is there anything nicer than snuggling up during a stormy night? I hope the tears dry in time for a sunny morn.
yeah, I hope so too Talon.. glad u liked it 🙂
Difficult modern poem. So lucky to have change of text color now. It makes it do more. I’m reminded of Carly Simon’s clouds in my coffee. Anyway I heard it and saw the storm brewing. Good work. Gay
thanks Cannon.. glad u liked the work.. yeah, the change of color does make the poem do more, and of course, the handle being a different line, the color change helps 🙂
Fabulous word play and creatively illustrated! Love it!
thanks Lisa 🙂
This shaped poem is very moving, very strong like good espresso.
thanks Dina 🙂 glad u liked it..!
your escape-espresso produced such creativity!

Strong One Shot (of espresso?). Espresso inside, storm outside. That’s as it should be. I’m impressed with the shape.

nothing much to teach, Harshika. write the poem, and then arrange the alignment i guess 😀
thanks for the wishes 🙂
Okay, the artist in you is really coming out in this one, painting a word picture in more ways than one!
thanks Willow, glad u liked the picture 😀
