Awake,
Get out of bed
To the coffee maker
Scent drifting through my atmosphere
Steam licks at my face as drips of coffee
Fall into the warm coffee pot
Every morning I drink
It, bringing me
Awake
I love
Coffee, milky
Taste makes me devour
Sugar, tasty bitter sweetness
Perfect thing to wake me up with morning
Even though it's not good for me
I can't resist that taste
Coffee, it's what
I love
I can't
Imagine not
Tasting the delicious
Coffee as I awake in the
Morning, craving the waking-up substance
I would get grouchy if I did
not have coffee each day
Imagine - no,
I can't

Wow, I've never seen a poem set up like this before. This was great, and I too love coffee in the morning. My favorite lines were:
"Scent drifting through my atmosphere
Steam licks at my face as drips of coffee
Fall into the warm coffee pot"
Absolutely brilliant. You said it perfectly in those few lines, and with such imagery. I can almost feel the steam on my face ;]! -
Hehe! Sweeeet!
And funny too ^^
