Java Java JavaA Poem by Steve KittellCoffeeMy silent alarm, works every day. Dreams of coffee wafting my
way. I get up quick to make water
hot. Then longingly watch the
drips in the pot.
When half way full the
process proceeds. The quest begins for the rest
of my needs, A big cup, of course, some
sugar and cream. And something to stir a new
coffee dream.
My brew perks away then it
perks me up. There’s nothing better than a
second cup. To sip and to savor and share
the sunrise. The beauty’s doubled with
wide open eyes.
I think it’s the drink I
drink the most, Colombian, Sumatra or a dark
French Roast. Whole-bean or ground, instant
or drip, They all taste great from the
very first sip.
Winter hands on a hot mug are
nice. In the summer it’s refreshing
with ice, Or a flavorful syrup or tasty
ice cream. Chocolate covered beans,
better than they’d seem.
Coffee’s always the dessert
after desserts. But it can stain teeth, pants
and shirts. A treat always perfect to end
a long day, A book, a snack and a decaf,
my way.
Huddled comfy in a favorite
chair, Sharing the quiet with a
loved-one near. Until pages blur and sleepy
eyes meet, Then goodnight kisses and a
last sip that’s sweet.
