All Comments on 'grande truth in a venti cup'

man ..good question to ponder...ty...this poem has been mentioned on today's review...congrats on the E..blue

I likes coffee poems a lots.

I don't often turn to the new poems page anymore, but was surprised to see one from you, Anna. Thanks for posting. And you are beautiful, ya know.

Indeed a heady brew

such complexity to our mornings

a perfect way to start my day

with a wide array of wonderings

and such a sly smile of delight

from foam tipped corners of your mouth

i need no sugar to sweeten my mornings

only shining words from you

Now I know what I may be missing

As I placidly sip my own tall Suisse Mocha

Courtesy General Foods;

Not quite the same as Starbucks

Especially in price;

But your words here —

A bargain at any price.

Pssst - nice going on that 'E'

but your poem goes deeper than coffee, beneath the darkness you have uncovered truths...about people and "how" they are. You deserve more than a mere green E. and congrats on ME"s success!! totally deserved

xoxox

But to tell you the truth, I almost did not read it because of the first line. I have no suggestions, I think you need what is there, but you realize the need after you read it.

And this is funny, exactly how you were first discribed to me, like an implosion, drawing the observer in till he is there, you.

enjoyed from begining to end!

Nice nice nice! Can't really comment on it because it's so good - know what I mean?

A venti bold with no room for cream. A very strong cup of poetry.
