An unshaven programmer tech
Drooled java on a Starbucks deck
His net earnings grew
As fooled patrons threw
Dinero to pay for his check...

As prose and verses are fabled,
the rain cats and dogs.

Love is endorphinated,
hug Dutch wife tightly.

A cup of Java,
occupied.
Nice?...

One takes a sip,
licking lips,
licking the rim.

Tongue hot, taste flavorful;

Sliding down throat deep asks
"May I have a refill?  Please."...

My day ain't complete sans a cuppa java

And it must be as blisterin' hot as flowin' lava

No better brew in life can be found
then that made from the grounds
of self confidence, sweetened
with self command and topped
off with the cream of accomplishment....

The sun peeps out over the horizon
   Sleepy red eyelid, un-java-nated...
Fiery streaks soon emblazon the sky
   Caffeine's supreme
      ~ Full steamy summer's day ahead...

Some days are winners, others are not
Jury's out but seems things have gone to pot
My mood's in the dumper
My world's split asunder
We've run out of java, my day is pure rot...

That first cup of java is there anything finer
Than the aroma that wafts past your nose at the diner
It's a joy unsurpassed
It's a sensory blast
But it's even finer sipping java in my recliner...

With a first sip of java I reach heaven's door
Come back to life and start soaring once more
Like a fairy type being
As I hold back my peeing
Mere mortals have rarely witnessed such beauty before...

coffee's perking
mind is working
always in the past

pour a cup
to wake me up
wondering if it can last

another hour
java empowers
has the die been cast

drive to work
heart in a cirque
the feeling, vast...

Some days are winners, others are not
The jury's still out but seems today's gone to pot
My mood's in the dumper
My world's split asunder
We've run out of java, my day is pure rot

That first cup of java, is there anything finer
Than the aroma that wafts past your nose at the diner
It's a joy unsurpassed
It's a sensory blast

Skiing on a cup of java 
  the little ant got burned
Limping out to lick his wounds
  he decided to return

Once again the ant was scalded
  yet he seemed quite unconcerned
I guess that ants are just not programmed
  for this lesson to be learned...

I am a coffee hound to say the least.
Without my java I can be a beast.
Just love that steaming cup
that warms and picks me up.
And productivity is much increased!

A man who enjoyed writing code
once took a wrong turn down a road.
Forsaking recursion,
he took an excursion,
now dabbles in sonnets and odes.

His java is still close at hand,
but now it is black and smells grand.
Who needs a compiler?
Just hike a two-miler;
the bugs are all out on the land.

isolated leaves—
Coffea shrubs reach their stems
toward sole-hung sun

java shops murmur
—misty exhales from hushed mugs
loneliness is loud

Bean's journey from upturned earth 
as vast as stem to sol in want 
of contentment's overflown cup. 

Facing our umbered reflections, 
we drink, we drown, we want to trust.

New project in Java
And there is an old one to mend 
In heart burning lava
Is on a quest for a frontend. 

Meanwhile spring's in fast car,
Lilacs blossom, intoxicate
With smell and so we are
Happy on earth, never be late 

For your personal call,
Your desire, ultimate mission,
Yes there are times of stall 
But do follow intuition...

Sunday sunrise
breaking through
bay window
coffee brewing
the aroma inebriating
crossword puzzle
pencil in hand
and in the kitchen
dreamy wafts
of costa rica java
mingling with 
perfumes of 
strawberries
and waffles

The coffee mug
that my ex-wife bought in London
has come to America.

Its printed message says, "Best Dad Ever."
30 years of morning coffee later
hot Java clears sleep from a clogged throat.

This day, I ponder on the merits
on not being the worst dad ever.

Luckily there are no mug logos
that convey only partial truths....
