Coffee Acrostic

Good to the last drop

Caffeine induced

Obsession brings

Fuel to thought and

Fervor’s wings

Ecstasy starts in the first sip

Extending to morning its much-needed zip

Author's Note

Sometimes the need to rhyme is overwhelming!

i used to work for terminix.....dunkin donuts was one of our biggest accounts...there were legs on the raisins in some of the donuts....yeh, disgusting...cockroaches ...german, oriental and american roaches....be careful with the places you choose for your brekkies on the run....nice poem!

10 years working in a DD - I saw some pretty gross stuff! But, they started me on my road to caffeine bliss, so... :) Thanks!

[quinfinn]

coffee...gotta love it!

This hits the spot exactly. I wasn't really addicted to coffee last summer when I had come really good Guatemalan coffee. Now I drink a few huge cups every day. And I think this poem sums up what the feeling is like, especially getting that "much-needed zip" in the morning.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you! I started at 15, when I worked in a Dunkin' Donuts. Now I wouldn't drink Dunkin' coffee on a bet! :)

[Clockwork]

Ah, gotcha. That would just be too much!

A very good write and skillfully crafted Acrostic about the love of coffee and the 'punch' caffeine can be for a person to start their day. Flow is good; line to line transition and breaks are well done. Nice rhythm and use of enjambment. Rhyme is good as is its scheme. Second, fourth (brings, wings), fifth and sixth (sip, zip) lines are perfect masculine end line rhyme that is executed very well in this piece. Good depth of feeling. Good word choice; nice alliteration, assonance and good consonance. Well penned and an enjoyable read. Write on.

Thank you, sincerely, for this thorough and favorable review. I appreciate your time in reading, and analyzing the form and rhythm.

[ShelleyA]

You're most welcome and my pleasure.

[Rita L. Sev]

Got this after all! Thanks! :)

If this one doesn't win the contest, then I will KNOW that someone is cheating!!
Where is a "flash mob" when you really need one???????

[Rita L. Sev]

Haha! I like that! Thank you very much, Angel!

[Angel]

Happy times, when you are around, my dear friend!!

Wow this was great Rita. I'm glad I waited until this morning to read it because this would have kept me up all night. I love the formating and the rhyme.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Jack. I had actually started this one before Frieda challenged me with "Whisper", and was obsessing about getting it to rhyme!

[Jack...]

You did great...it kind of has a mini-sonnet feel to it.

[Rita L. Sev]

Now, you know I appreciate that! :)
