Espresso ~ Epulaeryu

The epulaeryu form is supposed to be about food......hope espresso will count as food..lol, for me it does!

Find the best beans you can buy

Grind them now, while fresh

Press out, gently,  sweet black gold

one ounce for ladies

two for those night owls - 

liquid life,

born.

Love coffee and reading your brilliant poem makes me want one right now!Well done!

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Ah, a topic close to my own heart. When I go to see the doctor they check my coffee pressure. ;) I enjoyed the read.

Mrudula suggested I read your poem after I reviewed hers about milk pudding. I love the way both of you have given such clear instructions, I can almost watch as each of your delicacies are being whipped up for me! *yum!* I can’t decide whether to go into the kitchen & cook, or have a cup of coffee, or try writing a poem using this form!?!?! Love to learn about new poetry ideas! Thanks for sharing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Tx margie...:) Now I'm thinking of what to write about next.....chocolate cake, or Spanish paella? :)

[barleygirl]

Paella is pretty complex for such a short poem! But I love it! *yum!*

[SleeplessVolcano]

Paella it is! I've limited my random daily posting of poems to one per week now.....so I will post "Perfect Paella" next Friday :)

[barleygirl]

I'll try to keep my feeble mind on lookout! *smile*

I am not normally a coffee drinker, but your wonderful Epulaeryu certainly sounds tempting. Your posted image a perfect match. I can smell those coffee beans from here. And Mrudula Rani, is indeed very knowledgeable on all different poetry forms. Coffee lovers will be falling over themselves when they read this. Liquid life indeed.

Thank you

Chris
