Tempting Fate

A quick take on coffee, custom and courage

I buy my coffee and read a while
Get a refill
And then write a bit

But then there are mornings
In which I cast custom
To the winds

Let fate know
I give not
A whit

So instead I buy my coffee and write
Get a refill
And then read for a bit

A daring change of habit
But one’s soul must at times
Be allowed to fly free

Am I a creature of habit
Oh no,
No…not me

Author's Note

It's all about me!

All of us have to find that special freedom sometimes. It's too easy to get suck in a rut...
