We Need Your Help!

We ensure that our young creators are fairly paid for their work, but all the content on VoiceBox remains free for you to enjoy on a safe, ad-free platform. To keep it this way, we rely on the generous support from readers like you.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every penny goes directly to supporting young creators, and it only takes a minute of your time. Thank you!

The Cafe on the Street

A poem about the warmth of a cosy cafe

The romantic cafe lives on the corner of the avenue,

With wide arched eggshell windows,

It’s a place for friends to meet.

 

It struggles against the spluttering sharp rainfall,

Half clouded with condensation,

Separate from the blur of the London Streets.

 

The atmosphere is a dense, heavy fog,

An aroma of grounds churning,

against a coffee machine.

 

A plethora of hardcover books stacked high on shelves,

From fiction to fantasy,

Warmth is found within every crack and crease.

 

And in a small yet powerful moment,

the quaint romantic cafe,

becomes a place to lovely place to retreat.
