Poem: Ode to a Café

An ode to a café near where I live.

Bread and honey, open doors, café floor– 
I walk in, ready to order, feeling sure. 
And you have exactly what I’m here for: 
Soothing elixir, calming lavender latte allure. 

Twice a month, every payday, always there. 
Upstanding service, comforting place to be– 
Outdoor seating; fresh, delightful breath of air. 
And as I sit, I sip my drink and feel free. 

Oh, bread and honey, how you serve this space. 
Making it magical, to those who stop on by. 
Your staff hardworking, making it a tender place, 
And every customer leaves so, so, happily. 

Unnecessary ode, but I wanted to share 
About a place, with so much heart and care.
