Coffee

Inhaling the earthy vapor, I take a fawn-colored sip.

Sweet and lively as Bambi.

The aching subsides.

My eyes are no longer drooping. 

On a plush love seat,

I'm swaddled in knit things. 

Warming my esophagus, I counter the nip of the draft.

' It's as sweet and lively as Bambi.'

As a coffee-plus drinker i so love your thinking! As to the way you've briefly but fully worded your poem, coffee takes on a near-nectar like meaning now - says I, sip-sipping my first cuppa of the day. Thank you so much..

[Kittenincake]

Of course. I think coffee is something simple that everyone can take joy in. Thanks for sharing

[Carol Cashes]

I love coffee. This is perfect. But maybe draught instead of draft? Good job - smart and concise.

[Kittenincake]

Draught would be an excellent substitution. I drink coffee for warmth over being parched though :) well...unless it's iced coffee on a hot day...

[emmajoy]

Not sure where the other avatar came from but... anyway, lovely colour! I'd drink coffee in any form, even when i'm wearing a hat! :) > silly me.

[Kittenincake]

Coffee is most definitely needed when wearing a hat :)

[emmajoy]

We share the same sense of humour... which reminds me, am due for a.... coffee! :)

As a coffee lover myself, I so love your poem :)
It helped me survive four years of med school lol 😉😛
Nicely penned, Kaliope.

[Kittenincake]

Wow! Sounds like a lot of dedication. Coffee deserves more credit I think.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

:p of course! Better than tea anyways 😉

[Kittenincake]

True. Everytime I drink tea, I think it will be different than the time before. It disappoints me, unless it's Kava or Chai.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Interesting. Chai is the other name for tea in my language, Urdu...

[Kittenincake]

Is Urdu more of a spicy chai? I like a lot of spice.

[Mr.Writer]

Sorry to interrupt, but Urdu's actually a language lol xD

[Kittenincake]

Oops, well, you learn something new everyday.

[Mr.Writer]

No worries, :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

:p lol should have made myself clear ;p

[Mr.Writer]

It's alright :p

[Kittenincake]

Is there a word for coffee in Urdu?

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ah no, there isn't 😶

[Mr.Writer]

Not really

[Kittenincake]

Either way, still loved universally.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yup it is 😊

[Mr.Writer]

Coffee's great, but I think hot cocoa is a bit better :P

[Kittenincake]

Or coffee in hot cocoa. Or coffee in Chai. Or coffee in chocolate. Or coffee in ice cream. I'm getting ahead of myself lol.

[Mr.Writer]

Umm, coffee in hot cocoa? Interesting...
I should try that ;)

[Mr.Writer]

Very descriptive and tasty lol!
The imagery and warmth I get from this poem from the coffee sips is fab!
Keep it up

[Kittenincake]

Thanks! Nothing like living in mindfulness while drinking a cup - extra points for the favorite mug.

[Mr.Writer]

Lol agreed :)

[J.M.Fields]

If you can stir this much attention with three sentences, what can you accomplish with three hundred? Not what I expected at all. Good job on captivating an audience!

[Kittenincake]

thank you(:

[Iflybyyou]

I love coffee. As an extravert who spends most of his life cooped up in an apartment, Coffee gives me the dopamine rush I need lol

[Kittenincake]

I understand that

[Iflybyyou]

Yeah lol next you could write a poem about Dr pepper or cookies or some other random consumable product ;p joking. Anyways, keep writing. If it's your dream go for it. There will be a lot of people who tell you that writing is unrealistic and you'll never make it, but just tell them to go eat a t**d. The world doesn't define you. Your potential comes from what you feel, not what you see. Have a great day :)

[Kittenincake]

Hey thank you for that. You have a good day as well.

[Iflybyyou]

I will certainly try :) feel free to check out amd review my work as well.

[Vaporvision]

Simple, but warm. A nice, gentle story. Enjoyable.

[Chase Dylan]

Wordplay bordering on child-like wonderment, absolutely captivating syllable usage. Bravo.

[Kittenincake]

thanks! :p

[junXion]

[Kittenincake]

thank you(:
