Love Cafe

Hello Poetry Lovers

Welcome to the Love Cafe. My friend recently gave me this beautiful collection from poet Sally Crabtree

Isn’t it exquisite?! The most beautiful pamphlet. The poems inside are just as wonderful. I particularly love 10 p Skirt but I didn’t know how to illustrate it!

So I’ve chosen these two lovely pieces below. Ms Crabtree kindly gave me permission to publish these….

Crumbs

The good bits of the past

Are the tea and toast

In bed

&

The bad bits are the crumbs

That won’t go away,

However much you Sweep

Them aside.

They’re there, digging

in

Until the day the moment picks

up the sheet, shakes it out

And

gently lays it down, Saying

“There,

I’ve made your bed

Now lie in it.”

Coffee

One look from you and it’s Sugar

in my coffee

I melt.

Dissolving

desire

Spreading

To

Every part of me.

Sweetness reaches my lips.

Drink me.

Sally Crabtree

Weren’t they stunning, PL’s. Thank you, Sally. Love them.

Thanks for tuning in, Poetry Lovers, we’ll be back with more poetry action real soon…..
