Bittersweet Coffee Kisses

Photo prompt ~ Coffee Kisses Sculpture

Tea in the coffee grinds

an unlikely pairing

bittersweet melodies 

a parody of sorts

as in life,

mix & match variety

opposites attract

doled out of sweet idiosyncrasies

blended together in

 perfectly harmonious synchronicity 

Author's Note

Design by Tsang Cheung Shing of Hong Kong ~Coffee Kiss
Yuanyang II sculpture was named after a popular beverage made from a mixture of coffee and Hong Kong-style milk tea. The name, which refers to Mandarin Duck, is a symbol of conjugal love in Chinese culture.

This is really interesting. Wonderful writing!

As delicious and invigorating as the beverage that inspired it! What an interesting sculpture!

This is just ah. Oh my god. Looking at caffeine in a different way.

Now how did I miss this one...not enough caffeine I suppose or a work filled weekend got in the way. Well better late than never. Wonderful my friend. I believe I have seen this sculpture before and perhaps it was you who showed it to me. Nonetheless...beauty finds your words today and your inspiration. It is true that opposites can attract, bringing new thoughts and visions to one another. What a wonderful feeling.

Amazing my friend

Wow's that interesting and what a sculpture...love the way it is positioned at the bottom of the poem. It's so animated. All my favorite things together, poetry, art and animation including this piping superb write...swift and sweet.

That picture is wicked and honestly, I adore this poem. Coffee and tea are my babies. Mainly coffee but I can't drink it right now... boohoo.

This made me smile. Opposites definitely do attract, that's for sure.

Great one! Really like this short piece. Opposites do attract more often than not. And who says it never works out. Perfect sculpture pic for this too.

Opposites do attract. When they blend, the melange is new, different, and in this case, delightful. Always a pleasure to read you, Frieda. Lydi**
