On Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is post something just for the fun of it, and their prompt is: Just For Fun. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> Here . .. And today my poem “Hypnotic Jasmine And Aromatic Coffee” is a fun piece I wrote at the ‘Box Office Cafe’ this afternoon…





Hypnotic Jasmine and Aromatic Coffee
Under a sapphire sky
bathing in purified sun
a cool sea-breeze drifts by
adroitly holding the exotic fragrance
of a hypnotic jasmine blossom
then the cafe’s aromatic coffee
flavours the air
as a tasty apple-slice
awaits to be sacrificed
beyond the pandemic’s vices
Ivor Steven (c) October 2021

Coffee and cake, notebook and pen – what more could you ask for on a fun afternoon?
I love the title of this one and Iโm so pleased you shared with the challenge, thank you, Ivor ๐.

Short and crisp and full of flavor! Jasmine against the strength of coffee creates a unique, gentle marriage in taste.
