AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Sunday Scribblings prompt #128 ~ Coffee

Razzle dazzle blur
Busy wires and mirrors
Give me a coffee

Walking on egg shells
Whirlpool of frantic colours
Hand me a coffee

Cappuccino bliss
Strong coffee whisked with liquer
Adrenalin fix
~
Coffee sails seasons
Coffee weathers all weathers
Concocted heaven

What a delightful find! Coffee haikus … PERFECT! Thanks so much for dropping by Sacred Ruminations on Friday and leaving the link back here. I’ve not participated in Sunday Scribblings … but perhaps I could check it out. I love haiku … write it Fridays on both blogs … and sometimes other times too.
Hugs and blessings,
