Byeol Captain Poet Free verse

Elixir of the corporate

"The morning coffee, like morning dew,
Fresh and soothing, a gentle brew.
Like petrol for cars, it fuels our grind,
A corporate slaves life blood, forever aligned.

In our veins, it flow like life itself,
A daily ritual, a moment's wealth.
We cherish it so, this bitter delight,
Might we mistaken  for Elixir, in the 
Morning light?" 
                                                                      ~Byeol

Alesia Leach March 1, 2025 at 2:35 PM Your poem has a smooth, flowing rhythm that mirrors the comforting yet addictive nature of coffee. The comparison to "morning dew" gives it a delicate touch, while the "petrol for cars" metaphor shifts it into a more industrial, corporate tone. The phrase "corporate slave’s life blood" adds a hint of critique, suggesting dependency on coffee as a coping mechanism in a grinding work culture.
