My 1st copla real
One point at the back of my head
That is where all the caffeine goes
I quiver, held up by a thread
Until thick dark ambrosia flows
Without which I'd rather be dead
Lethargy and feebleness spread
My mind convulsing in dry throes
Running late is what I most dread
While rushing to throw on my clothes
What I'd give for coffee instead!

Haha! Nice one. Caffeine kick. ๐
Yeah – it’s a problem of mine ๐

I like your title; sweet nectar of the gods it is.
I’m such an addict ๐
I once spent a weekend visiting my aunt and uncle who had no caffeine in the house, not even tea. What a headache I had for 3 days. As soon as I got to the airport, Starbucks was my first stop. (K)
Oy Vey! ๐ค
A fun and creative poem, David. You must have had your coffee before you wrote this one. ๐
well, I had several throughout that day!
I would be too jittery to type! ๐คช
I love this new-to-me form! I never developed a taste for coffee. I did try in college (which is where many became coffee drinkers) but could never stomach the taste. I’m completely decaffeinated having given up cola drinks about 10 years ago… I can however relate as my husband “Sparky” has zero spark until he has that first cup of coffee!
If you ever make your way to Israel, I’ll gladly treat Sparky to a cuppa! And… tea for you? ๐
Love it. ๐
๐ค Thanks, Susan ๐ค
Coffee really does make a good start to the day. ๐
right? ๐

Drinking a freshly made coffee right now (unusual, but I didn’t make time for it this morning… (had headache from the lack of it)… this poem is so relatable. Love it!

David, now that you mentioned decaf hehe I have a funny meme to send you..Do you have an email address for your blog?
I just sent you an email!
Living in a Coffee Exporting Country and consuming my fair share every day (Volio is my favorite brand) I can appreciate your theme and seeing the rhyme scheme, appreciate how you did it impeccably….this poem, your first copla real and mine too in the reading. Funny, when I first saw the title, Ben, I thought it said “Copa Real” Real Cup…like a real cup of coffee to shake off the lethargy”:)
โค Thanks so much, Karima โค
How are you doing? I'm sitting here drink some decaf (it's late at night) because even just the flavor of coffee soothes me!
Yours,
David
