A Cup of Coffee

 

A Cup of Coffee

 

Damn you wretched caffeine

You make my body wanna scream

I never thought there could be

Such power in a tiny bean

 

I drink a small gulp

And you cringe my very soul

Swimming all over my body

Raising my blood to boil

 

My body shakes, my head spins

From your wrath burning within

Only to leave me tired and weak

And a headache that could last a week

 

Curse you wretched caffeine

You make my body wanna scream

Who would’ve thought there could be

Such power in a tiny bean?

Author's Note

I wrote this when I had a cup of coffee before an exam. I was so jittery my head wouldn't stop bobbling so I wrote this (oh and I did good on that exam by the way lol!)

Ha. I liked this. I think I'm beyond that stage now, having drunk far too much coffee... you know how they say it takes a lot of alcohol for regular drinkers to get drunk? That's me and coffee. But I love it and can't live without it. This was a short, sweet (ha), lighthearted poem that I enjoyed. Well done.

Love this! It's nice to read something that is not the usual writing topic. Coffee does the same thing to me...it's so addicting. Great poem! :)
