This month's release is the second edition of 366 Days of Poetry released. Links to the collection can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9 .   The Coffee Cinquain   Written on July 22, 2015, for the April 9 entry of 366 Days of Poetry , this series of cinquains forms a crown cinquain, and was inspired by the smell of coffee coming from the coffee shop near my lecture theatre at university.   Coffee: life brew, brown stew, heart starter of the morn, carries us through troubles by day, keeps us awake right through to dawn. Sugared by some, or by others sweetened, with milk or no, coffee in all of a dozen languages heated, in pot, coffee-maker, microwaved to hot, this brew from the jungles of oft-distant countries is addictive as Hell, drunk strong to please.   Cover art is by Jake at JCaleb Design, and links to 366 Days of Poetry can be found on Books2Read at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9
