strong espresso starts the mix
diluted with steaming, creamy milk
caramel flavor to sweeten
fluffy foam on top

from an espresso machine
I think I like these sugar cubes melting,
I guess I will just put a couple more then...

Espresso is brewing: that's my fix,
not my expensive Rolex;
this Ralph Lauren suit is elegant.
Good looks can generate sentiment;
worry, rush and stress perplex!...

I remember your
Early morning latte
Late evening cappuccino
Midnight espresso
And all things between them.
But now, I just have their tinges
Be it your coffees 
Or your memoirs....

early morn' espresso sanity
more than clouds in my caffè,
musings' sugared cuppa fancy 
atop frothy dreamt wanderlust 
& places to visit, people to read,
percolating poetic joie de vivre...

Frappe Birthday!
I hope that your special day is a latte fun!
Remember that I'll make you a coffee drink,
espresso-ly for you!
You mocha me so happy,
Bottomless love,

I'm like a SEAL team commando
After several cups of espresso
I like to dive bomb
With great aplomb
A gyrfalcon? I think so

To poach me is illegal
My name evokes the regal
I reach astonishing speed
When I'm ready to feed
You can call me a golden eagle...

Oh, Espresso, we praise you!
We kneel before the machine.
In awe of this ambrosia, this caffeine!
Oh, Espresso, giver of life, conqueror of sleep—
Our saviour at midterms when we must dig deep.
Oh, Espresso, our morning star, and afternoon routine,
Almighty, omnipotent, sacred bean!...

the smooth jazz café
dark roast and espresso shot
three sugar one cream

served in a dark cup
coffee bean image table
background bach blues band

comfy chill out sounds
smooth relax bossa nova
viola snare drums

cello string upbeat
piano caffeine downbeat
calm sax easy street

Susannah sits savoring the silence
snuggled sleepily on the settee
enjoying espresso and eating éclairs -
she needed some space and solitude,
twins, the ‘terrible twos’ are so taxing!
Her husband’s taken Hannah and Holly
to a party at Pirate Pete’s play park.

Evening cascades
Distant bright lights --
Sleepless I write


Bedtime stories
Adult word play;
Curious mind stalking


Wee hours conspire
Sleepy world drifts;
Double espresso


My darling sleeps
Glimpses of nirvana;
Haikus converge


Empty taxicabs
Ply lonely routes;
No one in sight

It’s a cold autumn day
Late afternoon is passing
Garden cleaned – stretch to toes
Hot espresso cup laden
I sit in contented peace
With grateful sated sigh



I was working on this as a 6 line poem but wanted a bit of a haiku feeling...
I came up with this  6,7,6,7,7,6 as a Siku....

“Boom Boom – Double Espresso” 

Boom boom – double espresso 
mourning morning
dark nights light me up

In Florence, if you need a lift
Assistance is easy and swift.
Espresso - 3 sips -
Will not go to your hips
But will perk you - it's Italy's gift.

It gives you that jolt you require
When energy drains make things dire.
One strong little cup
Helps to pick you right up -
Why, a poem it may even inspire!...

SILHOUETTE (23/23) — PRISM


Aromatic brew
Espresso cuppa;
Caffeine fixation

~~~~~

Here I see
Such ecstasy
Quite so simply
In funny things
That spring and swing

Here I prize
That fond surprise
That peels disguise
To know my place
In time and space

Dawn comes around
Drowsy eyes ground


Blurry new strain
Espresso gain


Stride now sleepy
Gaze now blurry


Misty cold rain
Monsoon spreads plain


Slow movement yokes
Dreamy form strokes


Abrupt this light
Dash drowsy sight


Now brew gotcha
Coffee cuppa
