Original Post:
To help inspire those toiling away on their own submissions, and allow Silver Spring Inc. to share it’s own love of Kefa, here is a sonnet written by Nate Fisher. Remember, entries can be in any format as long as it expresses your love for Kefa Cafe. Play to your strengths. Do what you love and have fun!
Ode To Kefa
Oh house of yellow brick, let me not disgrace
With vile descriptive simplicity.
Such trite words speak not of your inner space,
Nor your role as the soul of a city.
Tranquil beast, you destroyer through keen wares.
Wrecker of shops born of loud signs and sounds.
Your food has inspired countless love affairs,
Others coffee turned mud by your fair-trade grounds.
Thee who dared to weather the storm of years.
A testament to both your walls and heart.
From those walls came a gallery for peers,
Such hunger, you raider of the lost art.
When sleep doth loom, when sun refuses to glow,
And my soul, weary from a routine haunt.
I drag myself up to journey and know
My salvation lies just down Bonifant…
In smiles from Abeba and Lene,
The heart and soul, why I love Kefa Café!
The contest deadline is July 16th. Be sure to send in your submissions so that we can share why you love Kefa Cafe as well!
