I like my coffee hot
but inevitably I drink some cold.
I pour new to freshen the tepid taste,
rejuvenate with a microwave blast.
It’s a losing battle,
temporary methods
to bolster an incidental routine.
My tongue and lips have accepted this,
but never in your kiss.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

Nice right angle at the end. You're tricky Pat.
Excellent!
This is a good one Pat!
Ya know, ever since I saw you (and you blog site)
I've been rekindling the old poet voice that I once had when I first moved to Ohio in 1975! Many thanks indeed!
Loved this one!
Especially the ending!
no microwave coffee or tepid kisses for me either. nicely done.
Love it! That last line seals it.
Well expressed. I concur about the kissing part...but with coffee I seldom have the problem as I like espresso which is almost never cold before I've finished drinking it.
:-)
what a hot poem!
picking your battles wisely, I see.
ditto vaughn.
love the last line!!
This is a good one :)
Were you inspired by your morning coffee?...
I really like this pat. It's Wonderful!
Kisses just don't microwave very well do they?
Which reminds me - I must get on with some work - but first - a cup of coffee...
Thanks Don!! No trick, just a simple turn.
Thanks AA!!
Wink, thank you!! Keep it up!
Samuru, thank you!!
Nea, I do microwave my coffee(about the only use I have for one), but NO tepid kisses!!
Thanks Pris!! Sealed with a kiss?
Vaughn I'm a wimp, no espresso. Thanks!!
Mikaelah, it starts out hot!! Too many blows to the head not to!!
Thanks Polona!!
Thanks Jon Cox!!
Thanks Andrew!!
Cathy guess I was, cause that's all I got!!
Thank you Queen!! More artwork, poem, or a story soon I hope...
Roger that would take passion to a "new" level, wouldn't it!

(or my pre-breakfat hands goofed)
what can i say
i like twists
and
love kisses
but
no de-caff
really liked this one
Hi!
Thanks for dropping by my blog with the poem for my grandson yesterday.
And your comment, coming from you with much more talents than I --made me feel very proud!!! Thanks again.
Reheated kisses just aren't the same! I've read this a few times now - zinger ending - it has stayed with me. Thanks,
Julia
I'm a tea drinker myself, but the principle is the same.
Kisses should start out warm and only get hotter! Darn. That's the worst thing about being single - no kisses :-(
Great poem!
wow, clever as always!
I like this.
