Elephant's Child presents 5-10 words for us to use in a creative writing piece.
This week's words are:
Beauty, Missing, Totally, Roundabout, Belief, Suddenly, Peace, Rose, Calamity, Solve
The Café Roundabout.
It’s a quirky, peaceful place.
An under-stated beauty—
Deep, teal-coloured walls
Flowers, roses, on the tables,
Totally eclectic cutlery and plates,
People drift in. And out. Or stay.
Coffees are made, consumed.
Nothing happens suddenly.
No panic, no calamity, just calm.
A place for a poet to retreat,
To consume coffee and eggs
To solve the mysteries
Of the prompts.

Lies! False advertising! I can see the serviettes. They are clean. You are writing in a notebook.
ReplyDeleteGranted. More a metaphor than really writing on the serviettes.
DeleteBrilliant. Thank you for joining us again.
ReplyDeleteJust tend to arrive a little late. 🤷♂️
DeleteMy notebook and coffee mug just high-fived – they agree this poem is a treat.
ReplyDeleteThank you (I suggest you use the serviette to mop up.)
