Love this stuff!


Morning Coffee

Piping hot or mildly tepid
Capuchin brown or ebony black
Sugared never would be incipit
Edgy sharp a tastebud attack

Mornings without just cannot be
This pungent elixir a potent jolt
My senses shocked from reverie
By this morning thunderbolt

The oversized mug filled to the brim
Steaming before me as I gather
My whits in sufficiency to im
Bibe this darkly luscious nectar

Ah... sated at last
Now that night's inertia's past

A fine tribute. I loved the illegal rhyme in the final quatrain.

You are so right Joe, it is a powerful stimulator.
Great taste, great strength,wonderful stuff!
Mind you i'm tea first thing, strong enough to stand on but after then its coffee all the way.
And I especially love the roasted relish after a meal :)

Very nicely done, and I know the exact feeling in the morning.

I'll have a sonnet with my coffee. Hold the donuts.
Very nicely and cleverly done. :)
