Rather an article, I guess of sorts
I laugh and he smiles, I can tell
Can't you sometimes hear smiles
So I'm listening to that awesome Delilah song again
Thinking of communism that I should be seeking
Inside the brain waves of tonight my pen should
Start its scribbling like a mad poet from the East
I'll be okay if this world
Goes to hell in a handbasket
As long as Mr. Coffee is here and he smiles
Audibly
He grins and tells me the article should happen
I'm sheepish mess of poetic problems
Staring at my guitar I think of how much I need
To finish Tony's song, I'v got the hmmm dadada's down
Talking to you has just been a blessing for me
I hope you see that you're not the only one with
(the audible frin)
I'll be okay if this world
Goes to hell in a handbasket
As long as Mr. Coffee is here and he smiles
Communism can wait
I'd rather hear from my friend
Ken

Great title. I couldn't help but click on it. It reminds me of all the mornings when I swim around it a pot of coffee because I'm putting something off for the afternoon.
I forgot you even wrote thins one, I still say Good Job Miss Kady
Everyone should smile audibly.
You have a unique voice, but a weak style. Edit it a little bit and it'll be good to go.
very original and creative!! 5 stars ++...just loved it, hun.
Creative !!!
Very insightful Kady!
I consider that to be a rather offbeat poem. Definitely different. I liked it.
Very good, Kady! You had a lot published in one day. I'm out of breath trying to comment on them all!
