That bad, eh, Larry? ;0)

I must admit, I also love a good cup of coffee, black and strong and preferably of freshly grinded beans. Starbucks now has beans from Kenya, and they have the loveliest taste.

Nice one, made me smile!

Yes, Larry! Love this. Your voice and style in this made me smile. Great use of the word list and flow. Coffee = love right?

:)

Hello Larry,

I like my coffee strong, hot, black and straight for the unadulterated bean.

You penned a good poem from the required list of words.

Funny, I am drinking a cup right now! lol

Take care,

Michael

Truly an upbeat little daddy you have created in this challenge. Definitely gotta have my coffee. Your poem intrigues me as to wondering your intent with the direction your last stanza leads to an innuendo of the age old tale of a young man will love you if you "do something of favor". Seems you took it in a direction of older and wiser that your iust now comes from a bean rather than a woman. Lol gotta love it regardless of the intent. Awesome job and thank you for entering contest.

I think your piece is the first one in this contest to have been purely humorous, but then again you tend to write funny pieces quite often so maybe it was to be expected.

Eh, anyway, I really love the humorous nature here, the last stanza especially. I like the rhyme scheme and the flow, but I feel like the last line of the first stanza doesn't quite do the trick. Everything else is so easy but that one seems to be a little more forced.

Anyway, nicely penned overall, definitely a fun read :)

Much better flow, at least in my opinion. Nicely revised. :)

Wow... loved this poem Larry!

It describes the feeling of being a coffee lover very well. I like how you used the words you had to use... very creative!

Good luck
