Ode to Coffee

    Ode to Coffee

    Liquid immortality!
    Brew beyond this world!
    How I hope to taste your latent powers,
    Feel the shock of energy ignite.

    Running through my veins,
    Lightning sparks of focus rise.
    Drug of deep addiction,
    How I long for morning’s high!

    Some eschew your benefits,
    Some may seek a truer path.
    I will wallow in your graces.
    I will loyally return.

    Hell itself cannot prevent me!
    Heaven less can shake desire.
    Lay your liquid fingers on me,
    I am yours to set on fire!

    This could easily be an ode to cocaine or some other narcotic lol

    Yep--thought of that. My husband and I refer to it as my "drug of choice," although I've never used drugs in that sense. This ode is a little exaggerated, btw, in terms of describing my love of coffee. ;-) lol!

    Ha! Very well put. I did a similar ode in high school. It was called "Ode to Sandwich." Well it wasn't similar, but it had the same amount of enthusiasm. I do love a good sandwich. I've never really been into coffee though. I guess I'm not "built coffee tough." I can't even handle caffeinated tea. I guess I'm not "built tea tough" either.

    I share the love of coffee :D (and mountain dew runs a very close second:p)

    despite being a tea lover, I have to say I may cast a longing glance towards the coffee jar next time I open up my cupboard!
