Don’t drink coffee from yesterday and if you will do … than boil it than it tastes ok. My granddad (God have’s soul) said that always and called the ‘Jewish Coffee’, don’t ask me why I cannot tell you. The only thing I know … it was a compliment.
I see a metaphor. To Kristjaan’s point, I bet it’s called Jewish coffee as a compliment because it’s thrifty–if I have leftover coffee I put it in the fridge and either drink it cold later or reheat. I am also thrifty. Nice haiku!
Yuck, yesterday’s coffee. You need to make a fresh pot 🙂
Inescapable though…
best to let the old dregs go
that bitterness is poison
Cheers!

ew. Desperation… But could also be a metaphor for something much more meaningful.
Go for the metaphor, please!
That cup sounds like a metaphor.
Well, SOMEthing is a metaphor here, but I’ll leave that to the readers.
yes there is a symbolism in the bottom of that cup 🙂
powerful haiku.
put that cup down ^^ new day calls for new coffee

Wonderful haiku from my perspective of ‘letting go’ of the bitter dregs of yester year ~ Happy Day to you ^_^
