From the Lips of a Coffee House Patron
There's nothing wrong saving money brewing your own joe
Especially if you've been paying $5 and taking it on the go
But there is something we coffee house patrons know
That ambiance and atmosphere mean more than the dough
I, fortunately, live in a town where there're probably twenty
Quality coffee shops around with cozy nooks aplenty
I have my fav 4 that are each special in their own ways
For Meeting, Reading, Sitting Outside, depending on the days
It's like the difference between seeing a movie on the Big Screen
Versus watching one at home, sitting on your couch; so routine
Save a few bucks for once in a while drinking coffee in style
You'll find the camaraderie, even if you're alone, worthwhile
Beans, Beans from the Hills of Brazil
Beans, beans from the hills of Brazil
Roasted well; we don't drink swill
French press or dripped, whatever
Drink bad coffee? No, Never!
Picking Coffee
Sitting at a Coffee Bar in France
aka Coffee, Like Wine, is Holy
Sitting at a coffee bar in France
Quite a number of years ago
I was taken by the deep romance
The French have for their joe
Almost always a strong espresso
Sometimes a double sitting at the bar
It's like a French manifesto
Part of what defines who they are
A sugar cube sweetens the brew
The dark liquid sipped slowly
Watered down coffee is taboo
Since coffee, like wine, is holy
This Starbucks
This Starbucks has a patio where
You can bring your dog
To sit while you enjoy the view
Of mountains under fog
Or sip a vente mocha frappacino
On a sun-filled day
With lots of water for the puppy
Lying in the shade
The Client
Summer sun diffuses thru the mesh shade
So as not to bother the client's eyes
He lifts the cup of coffee, freshly made
The cup before his face, is his disguise
He can brew his own at home but he prefers
To sit in this seat at this café most days
A morning camaraderie of sorts it confers
For the lonely ones to find their way
Have Iced Coffee
Have iced coffee with sugar and milk
A frugal drink that's smooth as silk
Make it from what's left of your morning pot
At no extra cost, it'll hit the spot
And keep you awake for late afternoon
A jolt of caffeine stirred with a tall spoon
Coffee @ Vics
We meet our GM weekly @ Vics
A local coffee shop in Boulder
"Regular coffee for here" sticks
The barista, that's what we told her
Coffee tastes better in real cups on dishes
We also get our usual sweet cakes
Poppy schneckens, flaky, delicious,
Choc or almond croissant locally baked
We get our loyalty card stamped
Save for a latte or cappuccino later
After the meeting we're still encamped
To do the crossword and read the paper
Pick a coffee shop that suits you and keep going back.
Your barista will remember what you drink
Barista, Barista
Barista, barista, make me a caffé latte
And I insista, a squirt of chocolaté
My tongue loves the crema
A feeling I can't namea
But maybe, next time, I'll ask for a maté
A Good Cup of Joe
I appreciate a good cup of joe
In certain mugs set aside
The ones with lids for on-the-go
The porcelain ones for inside
In the Quiet Morning
In the quiet morning when the world is waking up
I diddle in my notebook while caressing my cup
At non apparent intervals I'll take a small sip
And return to my contemplation without a skip
Time slides quickly out from under me
Till I reach my last drop of dark, dark, coffee
A New Bag of Beans
When I open a new bag of beans
A deep inhalation hits very keen
Even before they're finely ground
The heavy scent fills the air around
The Chess Player
Seen at a Local Cafe
The chess player kept his corner spot
As challengers took their seats across
But he was on a roll, he was hot
A master of the game, he counted no loss
Click the clock and stay seated
Take a white pawn, take a black rook
Soon this winner would be defeated
To stand above the game, to wait, to look

Thanks for Visiting - It's OK to sip your coffee while you're here
Excellent lens on a coffee topic. I never thought of that but now I'm convinced that they really match. Thanks for sharing:=)
Cool idea on mixing the poetry with my favorite drink : ) I'm not much of a writer, but fun to read your poems.
Wonderful! Lensrolled to my Best Coffee Recipes and blessed by a Squid Angel :-)
