Ode to Morning Coffee

Black heat rising in steam,
bitter prophet of dawn’s claim.
You burn my tongue awake,
shake sleep’s ash from my veins.
Small god in a white cup—
I drink you down like truth,
dark and necessary.

Lovely allegory to coffee, Kayla. I only read this gem now. I like how you’ve used black & white in poem. This is an effective line : “ You burn my tongue awake,”. Well written. Great Love your way., Ghairo.

Wonderfu images but the sponsor is asking for 7 syllables per line...TRY to check

This has some "deep" imagery and thought, Kayla. I am drinking it right now actually - :)
