- I Am Brown -


  Don't talk to me
  until I've had my coffee
  Brown beans with a round and rich taste
  provide an invigorating effect

  I drink my morning coffee
  with a clear conscience
  A gentle start to the day
  Coffee beans come in all scents and colors
  - I'm brown and smell heavenly

Congratulations on your win in this contest. I think coffee is particularly prized in cooler countries as yours. I like to take it to keep me awake, but not too strong. Cheers.

Congratulations. Love your take for the color brown. I missed coffee, used to have two cups a day. Now, I'm down to 1/2 a cup. So frustrating cause I like it.

Love this, Anne-Lise! Well done! What a clever entry for the contest! While I drink tea in the morning, I do love and appreciate a good cup of coffee! There is nothing quite so wonderful as the smell of coffee in the morning! Best wishes for the contest! Hugs and blessings.

Dear Anne-Lise I love how it’s more than just coffee here, it’s conscience-clear comfort, a gentle launch into the day. And that last line? “I’m brown and smell heavenly” that’s both a little flirty and a lot cozy. Honestly, it’s like you wrote an ode to the happiest few minutes of every morning. You’ve turned a cup of coffee into a little poem-sized hug. Now I want one. Blessings, My Dear Anne-Lise, Daniel

I could almost ask you to marry me, Anne-Lise… but my Annie might get a little uptight about that. I’ll settle for a granulated instant instead. I wonder if I could get Annie to wear ‘Gold Blend’ instead of Chanel No 5. Best of luck in the contest. Terry
