People

thewayiwrite

They call me observant.

That's not particularly true.

People are so easy to read,

We bleed emotions even in the way we drink our coffee.

 

Not everyone seems to notice though,

They're all too busy drinking their own

damn coffee.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I’m sorry this is super short, I just suddenly realised I haven’t posted in ages so quickly got on with something (with the usual 5 minute limit!) and this is the result :)

    Oohh, only 5 minutes allowed?!
    Some allow 5 hours or thereabouts, as we waffle on! lol. Good write there.

      If you like to write for 5 hours then write for 5 hours! I just find 5 minutes works for me; I always start with an idea in my head so 5 minutes to put some words down isn’t so bad!

      Ha! Yes! Love it!

      there is a reason brevity is championed so widely, mainly because like those same coffee slurper's your write laments, the legacy of modern evolution: is ever decreasing attention spans,
      so short and straight to the point, works
