Coffee the face

Some days, all it takes is one cup

Hot, cold, black or milky

I just need it direct to the face

I'll need some space

 

I don't have time to unwind

Read a book, unfurl the mind

Hot, cold, black or milky

I just want it direct to the face

 

I call them the beans of life

Ground or granuled, they relieve my strife

Hot, cold, black or milky

It's the only way to live

 

Some say I'm a junkie

And never call me lovely

But when I'm in a mood and shaky

There's only one thing that can save me

Thank your comment Helen, drinks are interesting like the people who drink them.

Coffee is my preferred drink in the morning. The first sip is heavenly-- warm, rich, soothing. Due to insomnia, I switched to decaf when I worked at my desk job. When I retired and focused on all-day-long domestic chores (messy extended family!), I can happily drink the real thing in the morning. Thanks for the fun coffee bean poem, Rich Brew, even though you no longer brew! (lol) I always enjoy reading your comments to poems, Keith. Enjoy today's tea time, guys (I drink tea or soda (the latter very unhealthy!) in the afternoon).

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your comment, always means a little more than a like to me so I appreciate it.

I used to live on coffee 3 a day in my teenage years but switched off it in early 20s and am now a herbal tea/water fan. Every one has something they rely on to stimulate them whether healthy or not, it's just a case of moderation and context I suppose. I'll stick to music, TV and films for my sedentary stimulation and don't think I'll return to coffee anytime soon lol.
Thanks,
Rich.

Hello Rich,
Coffee has always intrigued me, especially those who find it an essential morning drink. Many claim it to be a stimulant, but I am unimpressed and find that this beverage has little effect on me. I drink tea in the morning and during the day but would often prefer water, a glass of wine or a fruit juice. I would be interested to know the effect of coffee on you personally. A thought provoking poem.
Thanks,
Keith
