A distant mumbling
pop popping
bubbling brew
each drop in the pot
brings the rich aroma
of fresh coffee
which scents the house
with homeliness
the pot speaks
in happy gurgles
how nice the sound
all is well with
the coffee on
that first cup in the morning
anticipated anxiously
now sipped deliciously
with warmer hands
and warmer spirit.
I know you Americans like coffee
You need it to survive (in the morning)
And.brush all the sleep-cobs away
And stop you from jolly-well yawning. ?

Indeed a happy way to start the day?

i think that this is best described as a 'comfort' poem.

Lovely and so true - and as heart-warming as a lovely cup of coffee! I particularly like the line "pop popping/ bubbling brew".
