I called you Coca Cola

I called you Coca Cola

A Poem by E.J. Michalec

I called you Coca Cola
Sweet yet acidic
I took one sip
And I didn’t want to quit it
Bubbly yet dark
A balance of it all
Your affect on me, that caffeine
I’m bouncing off the walls
When life served me a s****y plate
You washed it all away
You gave my life a fresh new taste
That I wanted to stay

This has a fun vibe to it. I much enjoyed the way you crafted the poem to express the metaphor. Quite whimsical and, I dare say, magical. If you would permit me a little critique: your musicality on two lines (Lines 7 and 12) could use some tweaking so it flows better (both need an extra syllable - 7 because "that caffeine" is too spondaic and needs a word like "strong" or some monosyllable for the line to be complete, whereas in 12, "wanted" is landing on the wrong sylLAble). This is otherwise fantastic! Well done!

really loved the title but also your inherent ability to build a creative story around cola. That's what i've noticed. You pull a word out and use your innovative mind to make a piece. Such as love sick. I think that's just awesome.
