Haiku- Elixir


Steamy hot, dark
Kahawa tungu served in mini-cups
Sipfuls to awake tired thoughts

I'd like to try some Kahawa Tungu. I like your title "Haiku - Elixir".

Wonderful poem and picture. I could use a shot of Kahawa Tungu right about now, or maybe some guayoyo - a Venezuelan coffee served black and sweet. It goes great with pastry...

Welcome to 'Echoes of the Hills'. That is a wonderful echo, Tracy B. And of course it is great learning about guayoyo.

Thank you so much. You will sip it, close your eyes and when you open them you are as sober as a judge.

echoesofthehills said...

And of course yours too which is a Little Elixir. So that we could compare the tastes.

Thank you Nanka. A wonderful blog you have there!

As we say here in Kenya, "karibu" ( Welcome). Thank you for setting foot in the hills.

echoesofthehills said...

Thank you for that. It's been a great coffee sip for sure.
