Coffee

Inhaling the earthy vapor, I take a fawn-colored sip.

Sweet and lively as Bambi.

The aching subsides.

My eyes are no longer drooping. 

On a plush love seat,

I'm swaddled in knit things. 

Warming my esophagus, I counter the nip of the draft.

' It's as sweet and lively as Bambi.'

As a coffee-plus drinker i so love your thinking! As to the way you've briefly but fully worded your poem, coffee takes on a near-nectar like meaning now - says I, sip-sipping my first cuppa of the day. Thank you so much..

[Kittenincake]

Of course. I think coffee is something simple that everyone can take joy in. Thanks for sharing

I love coffee. This is perfect. But maybe draught instead of draft? Good job - smart and concise.

[Kittenincake]

Draught would be an excellent substitution. I drink coffee for warmth over being parched though :) well...unless it's iced coffee on a hot day...

[emmajoy]

Not sure where the other avatar came from but... anyway, lovely colour! I'd drink coffee in any form, even when i'm wearing a hat! :) > silly me.

[Kittenincake]

Coffee is most definitely needed when wearing a hat :)

[emmajoy]

We share the same sense of humour... which reminds me, am due for a.... coffee! :)

[Kittenincake]

One of the saddest stories ever told!

[Ethan]

What about Bambi 2 where he almost dies

[Mr.Writer]

Lol sorry to barge in, but Bambi 2 was such a good movie!

[Kittenincake]

Heard there was a Bambi 3 in 2019, but might also be fanbased.

[Ethan]

Wow you're really in tune with Bambi aren't you😂

[Kittenincake]

I literally just looked up Bambi 2 and saw Bambi 3

[Ethan]

Eh, it probably won't be any good

[aj milton]

I love this description. As a former coffee addict now just a recreational user :p I think you captured the many faces of this glorious liquid beautifully.

[Kittenincake]

Thank you, it's funny how time seems to slow down when indulging in a drink that speeds things up.

sounds like the perfect alone time! Just add a book in the equation and life's good!

[Kittenincake]

Yes a book, a reading nook, and sunlight would make it magical :)
