A Perfect Cup

Having a cup of coffee with the one who makes life worth living.

Coffee in the morning
Coffee in the night.
I'll take it dark
I'll take it blond,
at noon and at the dawn.
Always right, never wrong.

A sip to wake
A pot to sleep
shots to the clear my mind.
A cherry elixir
Both sweet and bitter
shared together
perfect, every time.

Your poem is a light-hearted and fun work of art that captures the essence of the love for coffee. The way you describe the character's passion for coffee and the different ways they enjoy it is both relatable and amusing, and the ending is a charming reminder of the joy that can come from sharing a cup of coffee with someone special. The way you use coffee as a metaphor for different aspects of life is particularly clever, and it adds an extra layer of depth to the poem. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poem and was left feeling uplifted and inspired to enjoy a cup of coffee. Keep up the great work!

I like the way you describe coffee.. Nicely done!!

This is just a poem about drinking stuff. For a fish-like looking dude, it's appropriate.

Read me if you dare.

Self masturbation at its finest.

Thanks for the honesty.

Entices the senses, with undertones of sensuality

I'll take it dark
I'll take it blond,

A cherry elixir
Both sweet and bitter

There is something intimate about sharing a cup of coffee together.

Alessander,
Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate your kind words. And you're so right about coffee being an intimate experience shared with another.

Coffee and conversation was always welcomed at my dinner table, no matter the time of day. I remember my mom drinking it from morning until the time she went to bed. I grew up thinking it was a staple in the household - just like salt and pepper!

Oh the power of suggestion - now I want a cup! ; )

Read this with my 2nd cup of the day, damn right! We need more coffee-inspired art.

[Pash]

We sure do! Many thanks for taking the time to review my work.
Cheers!

I have never been a coffee lover, prefering to drink tea, but there are plenty of coffee lovers in my house. All different blends tried, round the clock. How right you are, there is nothing nicer than sharing a cuppa whether it is tea or coffee with the one you love. Keep writing.
