Caffeine

A tribute to the amphetamine of day
Caffeine in all its glorious forms
It’s legal it’s potent

Nobody hounds you
Scrutinizing your intake
Be it social or on your own time

Beyond espresso and the americano
My ultimate favorite being
Chocolate covered coffee beans

I can’t get enough
I love the jolt they give
Throughout the day

In addition to boosting energy
And stimulating metabolism
Caffeine reigns as a top effective pain killer

And that’s the story I’m sticking to

Jan Terry April 17, 2019 at 6:20 PM Line, your poem rings true for me, as well. I wrote a poem about my coffee (caffeine) addiction but haven't published it on the Soup. Maybe I will someday. Best of luck in the contest. Hugs, Janece. Line Gauthier April 17, 2019 at 7:49 PM Thanks for your visit and comment, Janece. Hope you will share your poem soon.
