Coffee

A prompt for the group “To Write is to Live”

Coffee

That wonderful morning drink,

I will not live without.

Bitter, yet smooth . . .

A palette’s contradiction.

This myriad for the senses.

 

Comforting smell,

A ruse of its flavor.

Black, brown or tawny color,

Depending on the creamer.

Sweetly smooth or strongly harsh,

Additives change the flavor.

Silent, percolates, drips, or steams.

Prepared according to mood.

 

Watery sludge.

A cowboy’s jolt,

A peasant’s hope,

Or a rich man’s dose.

Coffee awakens all dreamers.
