Taste buds quivering
As my mouth gets all wet
Waiting, longing, aching
Wiping each gleam of sweat
Nostrils stroke the frangrance
As I take the jacket away
I like the warmth on my hands
I leave the drops where they lay
Sweet existence there
I caress it with my tongue
Nice warm temperature
It won't be there for long
Eyelids shut so tightly
I don't want to miss a taste
Refreshing, energizing
I drink without haste
Yes, Starbucks has the answer
I drink til it is gone
Wishing, wanting, hoping
For one more sip I long
Lips turn downward
As I peer at the cup's bottom white
Savoring what flavor is left
Thank God for that Cafe Americano tonight

This was great...at first I thought it was a sort of erotic poem
but only to find out it's about coffee! I liked the way you descibed this and with such passion.
Thank you for entering my contest and good luck

Well done. Nice movement from making the reader enter the erotic to entering the coffee shop.
-
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
-
is this the coffee option?
-
It's amazing how you can think a poem to be one thing and then it turns out to be something completely different! I liked that about it. It was well written with some brilliant language that conjures up some great images.
I am a great coffee lover myself, except that it actually makes me ill- but, sometimes it is worth it. For a lovely mocha or.. well... any coffee works for me.
Really well done, it was a piece I won't forget for a very long while. You're a good writer. -
lol. I used to like beer...root beer. Cute response. thanks

Coolness
Coolness, Dude,
I won't be rude,
But coffee makes me squirm.
It hypes me up
With every gulp
And twists me like a worm.
Like your poem,
But I'm going
To forebear coffee here.
Instead for me
It will be
That good ole bubbly beer!

hahahahahahahahaha!!!
that was amazing!!!
you started out the poem so serious i thought it was about a girl...
though, i will have to agree with you...
starbucks is the best... -
I like this!!! It's got like..this hidden erotic side to it! And any poem about coffee is okay by me. But really, I think the way you combined the use of all your senses together really makes this stand out. Well done, well done! And thanks for sharing!
