O, Dark Master

The best part of waking up...

I was only fifteen

In the beginning

My longing was deep; 

I thought I was sinning

Back then I thought

You needed much more

I'd add heavy cream

And sugar galore

Now stepping up 

To the coffee bar

I see you are perfect

Just as you are

Reaching for you

My heart just beats faster

For you, my caffeinated,

Dark-roasted master

Coffee can be as much of an addiciotn as anything else.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, it certainly can... :)

[David Scott]

I do so love your way of thinking. Ha! Dark master indeed...
You even got in a little guilty rebellion as well. I can relate so well to the restrictions of lifestyle.
Fun read.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, David - I actually gave up coffee when I made some major changes in my diet, but went back... Dark Master, indeed... LOL!

Ive always been a tea drinker...hot and iced. But lately ive developed a taste for iced coffee. Who knows I may work my way to the dark stuff. Lol... ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Yes, it is an acquired taste, but once acquired... Tea soothes me at night, but coffee gets me going in the morning!

An anthem for all who rely upon their java jolts to get started each day. I too began with sugar, but now take it without, as nature intended. "Dark-roasted master" is a splendid ending.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Rich! Coffee and poetry are my weaknesses!

[Joyce S. Greene]

A perky little ditty about Mr. Coffee, Ritty! Oh, oh, guess I got a bit carried away with the rhyme there, Rita. :) You have written another delightful poem. It's always a lot of fun to read your work. Thanks for another smile!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Joyce! I am always so happy to see that my poems make people smile!

An enjoyable piece ! I did not expect it to be about coffee , so the end was a bit surprising.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, FD! I write about a lot of everyday things. :)

[Moon]

Would you believe if I said right now I was drinking coffee? Lol! This is amazing, coffee is amazing....... -daydreams about coffee- hahaha

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, I believe it! It is almost 10pm here, so I will have to dream of it til morning... :)

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Though I don't drink coffee, this is a great piece and I love that title!

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thank you, Travis!

[Renée]

Tea is my drink of choice..but this is a Very creative musing for coffee..I am guessing this write alone will drive coffee drinkers to a cup !

[Rita L. Sev]

I do believe it already has... Thank you, Renee!
