Dean Wood Poet Concrete

Coke Is It

Thirsty? I
wonder,
well I’ll
pop my
top. I’ll
hiss and
you’ll sigh
the fun just
won’t stop. I’d
like to teach the
world to sing, really
it’s no joke. For I’m the 
pause that refreshes, yup
Coca-Cola is Coke! Good to 
the last drop, you know it’s 
true.  The best combination
Is Red, White and You!  Coke 
adds to life wherever you are. 
Just have a Coke and shazam,
you’re a star. I am as pure as
 sunlight for all folks see; your
passport to refreshment; so
just what will it be. Let me
share a wee secret there’s
no need to be coy. Just 
open a Coke, then sit 
back and ENJOY. I’m
the favorite drink for all 
sorts of folks. You just can’t 
deny it, things go better with 
Coke. And you  can’t beat the 
feeling;  so don’t throw a fit. 
When you’re feeling Thirsty,
Look to me, COKE IS IT!

Carole Duet September 20, 2018 at 5:58 PM Very very clever, Dean. I drink Sprite but you sure made me want a Coke. You should send this to the Coca Cola company. Congrats on your well-deserved win.

Paul Marc September 20, 2018 at 12:08 PM This is off the charts good! Coca~Cola should be posting this poem up in their lobby. Congrats Dean. Dean Wood September 20, 2018 at 12:13 PM Wow, thanks P.M. Quite a compliment!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 20, 2018 at 9:39 AM Dean, I LOVE THIS!!! In my final stages of judging I looked to my heart, which poem would I want to indulge in over and over and over again. This one POPped to the top. The whole package perfect. You penned a gem. Your attention to detail and words that went down as cool and bubbly as Coca-Cola itself. Thank you, and congratulations! xomo Dean Wood September 20, 2018 at 9:43 AM Thank you so much for sponsoring this contest Maureen. I am honored. I have read many of the other entries and I am sure it was difficult to judge. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Connie Marcum Wong September 19, 2018 at 10:27 PM Dean, you did a fantastic job creating this concrete poem! It is a deserving winner for first place! Congratulations my friend! My daughter is a Coke drinker I will have to share this with her! : ) Dean Wood September 20, 2018 at 9:03 AM As always Connie, I am grateful for your thoughtful comment. This one was fun to do.

Jesse Rowe September 19, 2018 at 10:04 PM Wow. Coke slogans through the years, but that classic shape remains. Excellent take on this contest and congrats on your win. Well deserved! Dean Wood September 20, 2018 at 9:04 AM Thank you Jesse. It was really interesting to go back and read all the slogans Coke has had through the years.

Kim Rodrigues September 12, 2018 at 7:20 AM Dean, this is fantastic! For a contest? Diet coke and candy corn make a good combo...lol Dean Wood September 12, 2018 at 4:07 PM You don't say? Candy corn? I'll have to give that a try. Best wishes Kim!

M. L. Kiser September 12, 2018 at 4:37 AM I have always preferred Coke over Pepsi; it's just more refreshing; especially in the Summertime. I remember the old glass bottles it used to come in; I just sold a couple of them a while back. Anyway, I now have a new favorite poem, "Coke Is It". Thanks for the great memories of such a super drink. Dean Wood September 12, 2018 at 4:06 PM I have to agree, I was always a Pepsi person growing up then I took the Pepsi Challenge and found out I like Shasta Cola best. Saved me lots of money! Thank you for your comment.

Rhona Mcferran September 11, 2018 at 6:35 PM Brilliant! You took a very difficult form and made it look effortless- terrific work! Dean Wood September 12, 2018 at 4:05 PM Again, thank you Rhonda.

Charlie Smith September 10, 2018 at 9:31 AM Great work Dean, you and Mr. Warhol have a lot in common... Dean Wood September 11, 2018 at 9:44 AM High praise Charlie. Thank you so much.

Andrea Dietrich September 7, 2018 at 4:54 PM I hear down south, they actually ask for coke when they simply mean "soft drink" and then the waitress has to ask which flavor. So I suppose they could ask for coke and then say, "a pepsi please?" Rhona Mcferran September 11, 2018 at 6:38 PM This is true... I heard people say that a lot! ;) Dean Wood September 8, 2018 at 4:30 PM he he, that would really be ironic.

Andrea Dietrich September 7, 2018 at 4:53 PM I just love how you did this and with the rhyme. I wish I had thought of it!! Dean Wood September 8, 2018 at 4:30 PM Thanks Andrea. High praise coming from you!

Dale Gregory Cozart September 6, 2018 at 4:19 PM Awesome! Very clever poem and especially the shape! Dean Wood September 7, 2018 at 12:32 PM Thanks Dale. This is my first go at a "Concrete" form. They are challenging.

Ilene Bauer September 6, 2018 at 3:49 PM dean - this is absolutely adorable! the shape is perfect and your rhymes are just delightful. i must admit that i don't drink the stuff, though! Dean Wood September 7, 2018 at 12:31 PM To be honest, I don't really prefer Coke either. Thanks for commenting.
