    Thanks, Candace! Just a quick, silly ditty that I wanted to get in before the 2nd leg of a short story competition I'm in (http://www.nycmidnight.com/). Check it our if you're not familiar with it, very well run, established competition. Very cool format. I'm entering the short screenwriting contest next week, my first such foray.

    That?s awesome Chip. Best of luck to you in that contest! I hope you keep writing.

Hi Chip. I loved your choices of words in a combination that seemed to spark fire. And - having gone without coffee for a week recently, I totally understand. Nothing beats that first sip.

Funny, funny and weirdly great. Not a coffee drinker, I marvel at the lengths drinkers will go to get some. Play on words delights me. You have done a great job with an entry to this contest. I wish you the best of luck. I can smell my neighbor's coffee...maybe I could snag you a cup.

    Thanks for the review and the humor, Sherry! Oh, and for the offer of a neighborly cup. I've had my quota for the day, but thanks!

Terrific word choice to rhyme this entry to the
"Rhyme without Coffee." contest.
Thoughts of that morning cup is what gets me out of bed in the morning,
so I can relate to your clever piece.
Good luck in the contest.
Nancy

I am not a coffee drinker so this is hard for me to relate too. But I do understand that coffee drinkers are very true to their drink of choice.

A very well-written rhyming poem about the craving for coffee that is so overwhelming that we can kill for a cup of coffee. It is best to never run out of coffee.

This is delivered effectively and sounds great. It's carefully crafted and composed in a roundabout way that brings light humour to the issue of coffee is out. The words are chosen carefully and the meter and flow are consistent. Entertaining and fun to read and reread. Delightful. I like your high complex language in word choices as you put together creatively a number of interesting words I need my dictionary to decipher--intelligent and clever. You write at an advanced level. Interesting and fun. I hope you found a replenishment of coffee to meet your needs as it sounds like your very much enjoy the experience of it, lol. Best,
