Very pretty and simple poem. At the same time, the last few stanzas are really vivid and spark my imagination. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your observations and reaction! Certainly wanted to deliver that message of the need to caffeinate that makes a Sunday morning feel whole. More of an lighthearted intention, so glad that came through as well!

this poem does a fantastic job at reflecting what i am perceiving to be a possible addiction. the way in the last stanza you write to "surrender" yourself to it really solidified my own observations. at the same time, this poem is very lighthearted and some might even say it's cute, and i feel that also contributes to my main analysis considering that caffeine addictions aren't really taken seriously in society. my perception of this work is probably very different from it's intentions, but it was wonderful nonetheless!

Thank you so much for your feedback. I can’t help but blend serious and fun when I take on non-personal subjects. When writing from the heart it’s all grey clouds all day!

Heya, I love the simple, tongue-in-cheek approach of this poem. There's an immediacy and humour to this style of poetry that really achieves far more with mundane subjects than polished verse could hope to. Great stuff!

Thank you, rhyme and rhythm are always a goal of mine. Sometimes I take it too far and it becomes a literary crime.

I love it, i love the flow and the rhymes, they work perfeclty in making me feel like ive just had coffee and the sort of little mania that comes with it. I also love the word drip. Its easy to garb on to and it keeps you attatched trough the poem. Great work!!

Up and at ‘em

Swing your legs around 

Pants on, grab ‘em

“Drip, Drip”, what’s that sound?

/




The morning hits hard

My senses are mute 

The dog to the yard 

That smell is absolute 

/




Awaken with a sip

Of the glorious drink 

The one made with a drip

Saving you from the brink

/




Sunday morning coffee

Is the night’s slayer  

Caffeine does it for me

Cream, the divine layer  

/




All hail the wonder 

The universal vice

Breathe and surrender

But first, stir twice
