POEM - Burgers on a Monday with You

Inside the restaurant

We both ordered cheese burgers

Found a table to wait

As the sky stayed gray outside

It’s a Monday and 1 o’clock

So only casual diners

Share this quite reflective day

Eating comfort food

At a leisurely pace

Each burger was all the way

Minus the mushrooms

I added grilled jalapeños

My new favorite topping

We had time to eat some peanuts

Sip some soda

Talk about the morning

She thinks it will all work out

I’m inclined to agree

After the first few bites

Of perfectly done burgers

And wonderful fresh fries

My phone buzzes out the notice

The email we were waiting for

The one we wait for every Monday

Had finally arrived

I read aloud the note

From our daughter who is away

She sounds great

Really liked all the letters she got

Sounds happy and upbeat

The meal was delightful

Pitch perfect on every culinary note

The news was good too

The morning was good as well

The rain was gentle

The company divine

The jalapenos spicy and flavorful
