View From The Cup

I drank my coffee Then jumped in the cup To see the cool views From inside, looking up I imagined rowed teeth Flanking a tongue Pink and juicy like Gooey bubblegum And fronted by lips Both lined and puckered Smacking themselves Like plump bloodsuckers But fortunately That was all made up Except for the part Where I jumped in the cup The cup didn’t grow Instead I turned teeny The size of a tack Like a lamped genie I did see bright sky Without a rainbow That was suddenly Dimmed by a shadow But there was real fear When I was picked up For someone was going To fill up the cup I wanted to scream But hadn’t a voice So small in that cup Of black Taster’s Choice How could I survive In a caffeine sea I was to drown from Curiosity But then remembered Though remained unseen We had no more coffee In cans nor as beans I rejoiced with glee But then in a blink Was poured down a drain And looked up from the sink Which may seem hopeless But it was part two Of the next task that I was going to do

David, very cute. I love that you can take a different perspective. Perhaps that explains why you can see a variety of points of view. Makes me wonder why some of us can do that while many seem stuck in the same frame.

Keeping us in suspense, eh? Well, I tried to fall off of the edge of my seat, but I'm afraid that my 'seat's edges' are a bit too round and plump for that to happen. lol. Enjoyable 'sci-fi fun,' David. Thanks, Gershon

A funny but well written poem. I loved it, including the ad for Taster's Choice.

Hello David, a whimsical journey through the unexpected perspective of a tiny protagonist exploring the interior of a coffee cup. Your playful language and imaginative imagery create a scene that captured my attention from start to finish. I loved the transformation from ordinary to extraordinary, and the suspenseful twist at the end, leaves a lasting impression. Your creativity and storytelling prowess shine brightly in this delightful piece. - Blessings, Daniel
