“God within me is the enjoyer of the aroma As also this dopamine boosting flavour I taste I surrender all pleasures to the dweller of my heart Breath by breath thus that my soul presence be chaste” - Unseeking Seeker's line of inquiry. Morning hesitates to mention my thirst, When will I fill this need that plants its seed? Must have that steaming cup, my very first, Coffee rouses weary souls, ‘tis agreed! When will I fill this need that plants its seed? Waking to this perfume saying, arise. Coffee rouses weary souls, ‘tis agreed! Without my java, other drinks chastise. Waking to this perfume saying, arise. These scrumptious beans are morning’s best defense. Without my java, other drinks chastise. And, without coffee, life seems too intense. These scrumptious beans are morning’s best defense. With cup in hand, my heart is full of thanks. And, without coffee, life seems too intense. Denied this joy, my life is filled with blanks. With cup in hand, my heart is full of thanks. Yes, I know coffee is an addiction. Denied this joy, my life is filled with blanks. Still yet, this drink won’t fetch an conviction! Yes, I know coffee is an addiction. Must have that steaming cup, my very first, Still yet, this drink won’t fetch an conviction! Morning hesitates to mention my thirst.

a splendid read, Gina. Not familiar with the pantoum form of poetry but I liked the way this poem flowed. I, too, have to have a cup of some type of caffeine every morning. I realize it's a crutch, but if that's the worse thing I do every day, I can live with that. Have a great evening, Sara

ahh, you chose so well the format of pantoum for this gem. I hate coffee, so unless I can make something up, I guess I'll have to pass up this contest!
