Cantaloupe

By Drew5571

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I'm trying to talk to you but you are too busy eating cantaloupe and drinking coffee with a cube of sugar. Communication is not what you really want to do. You eat cantaloupe and drink your coffee with a cube of sugar. I'll just read the newspaper and figure out the crossword clues while you eat cantaloupe and drink coffee with a cube of sugar.Written december 2001 as a 2 minute exercise. I had to use three words, communication, coffee, and cantaloupe in a poem. I apologize for its simplicity. Written February 14th, 2002 © on Feb 13 2002 04:28 PM PST   0 • 10
