Sweet fragrant coffee…
Sweet
fragrant coffee, you fill me with delight,
You
sharpen my hearing, focus my sight,
Waken
taste and smell with rich, deep notes…
You
waft restful draughts, quell restive seas,
Water
vineyards and groves, hoe fruit-bearing trees,
Build
sturdy safe homes, tidy cities on the plain,
Turn
denizens to work for prosperous gain,
Hoist
snappy white sails, launch fresh-painted boats…
You
uplift my heart, quicken my feeling!
Just
do not invade my sleep and dreaming.

Short version of this poem:
ReplyDeleteSweet fragrant coffee…
Sweet fragrant coffee, you fill me with delight,
You sharpen my hearing, focus my sight,
Waken taste and smell with rich, deep notes,
Uplift my heart, quicken my feeling!
Just do not invade my sleep and dreaming.
