THE GODDESS WHO CONTROLS

Part of the morning commute theme. I imagine you have all seen this Goddess by now.

THE GODDESS WHO CONTROLS

When aliens land

they will see

the sacred cylinders

held by their disciples

carried before them

leading the devout along the streets

The receptacles

dispensed from holy sites

with prophecies from

the star crossed Goddess of wavy green hair

Careful,

the beverage you are about to enjoy is extremely hot.

They have the best and at their prices I don't expect anything less.

thanks michael. i see these zombies every day and i'm one of them.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Wonderful and witty! And anything coffee-related gets my approval... :)

[rutherford]

Thanks Rita. I may have one ode to coffee soon so I'll send your way.

[Tam Warink]

Starbucks should pay you for this one and put it on every cup. I'll bet it would go over great in Roswell and other similar haunts. :)

That morning I happened to notice that everyone on the street seemed to be walking with a cup of SB coffee before them. My first impression was zombies or invasion of the body snatchers. I am one of them.

[Anand Sehgal]

Awesome write. As if you mixed a commercial screenplay with a purpose. good metaphor. was a fun read :)

[Pryde Foltz]

She is a goddess, indeed,
commands angels of sweet mercy
green strings flapping from behind
very skinny and droopy wings
take flight with but a mouthful
of her life-giving nectar
wince, still sharp
needs a bit of cream.

[rutherford]

Great rejoinder. One you've done or did you make this up on the spot?!

[Pryde Foltz]

Made up on the spot. You inspired me.

[rutherford]

I think it must be the coffee. I have only the title for another ode to coffee: the dark redeemer. Not at your level of creative horsepower...

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you. But I like the title.
