Do they have flowers in Starbucks?

Starbucks buzzes loud,

In coffee cups, flowers bloom—

Secret gardens hide.

  1. Nice, it made me think of my garden in Tanzania with coffee plants, and after the blossoms the beans which I roasted in a pan on the stove and made my own coffee. Pretty terrible coffee but a nice memory invoked by your haiku, thanks.

I Wonder What Happened to You

Stories, it's all about the stories in life. In the vein of Lacuna and Here I Go Again is my own snapshot of stories: I wonder what happened to you  You wrote poems for me,  You were going to take me to  The Rocky Horror Picture Show  We were going to dress up  Your eyes turned green or blue,  Depending on your mood  I wonder what happened to you  Your name like beer  You wrote songs and played guitar  And gave me a dragon ring  Told me not to lick stamps, because you cared  We’d drive the abandoned streets and  You’d stop at green lights   I wonder what happened to you  I loved the cool tattoo you drew yourself  We’d haunt coffee shops in the city  You made me a plastic ring   From the coffee stir stick  Said we were married  We were not  I wonder what happened to you  You’d quote me Shakespeare and   We dress up for the renaissance fair  You painted me pain...

A Poem By Jim Harrison

In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and mountains of the Mexican border I've followed the calls of birds that don't exist into thickets  and up canyons. I'm unsure if all of me returned. - Jim Harrison (illustration LFB)

Go As A River

River winds its course, Life's push and pull shape its path, Flowing to the sea.
