Ode to Coffee

Ode to Coffee

A Poem by ❀ Gabriela ❀
"

A short, silly poem with a bit of a twist.

"
The purr of my Keurig; that marvelous scent
Rings true to the sound of my money well spent.

For, with each drop of liquid that falls from the spout,
Comes that precious elixir I can't live without.

Oh, coffee, sweet coffee- milk, sugar, and all
Grants me the nerve and willpower to haul

My feet from the floor and my rear from the bed.
It eases my mornings, and clears up my head.

I relish each cup with the greatest relief.
- I'd give the crap up, though, if I could just sleep...

This goes smoothly and beautifully throughout the entire poem and then slaps on a hilarious punchline at the end. I enjoyed every line. Well done!

Great rhythm, fun ending. I love how you praise it and then call it crap because sleep is more valuable

this should be on a kitchen towel... besides the twist
everyone should write an ode to this glorious brew

Aah, just love the ones that pay homage to my writing companion.
Clever piece that flows ... like that first cup at sunrise.

Ah, , a well-deserved ode to that precious drink. Hot or iced, sugar and cream or mounds of white, it's all good to me and I can always sleep!
