Afternoon at the Cafe
March 15, 2017
Grand mug of coffee
Strong scent and deep brown color
Clear steam whirls up
Shiny silverware
Elegant cheesecake with fruit
Fork softly cuts slice
Cake chewed slowly
Coffee delicately sipped
Evening soon to come

In this format, each verse is a standalone haiku, but the last one compares or unifies the previous two.
