Coffee For Me

I consume that aroma of fresh roasted coffee beans; Oh, that very first sip! A perfect 205 degrees; steaming, but not so hot to burn one's lip. It should be sweetened with sugar, but not overly sweet. A couple or three teaspoons of "sugar in the raw," a treat. The cream should be half and half, but never too milky. A heavenly sensation, not too mild or strong; smooth and silky. This caffeinated elixir that awakens the delicate buds on my tongue, is for me, The anticipation of stimulation, craved by a person with adhd. Barbara Campbell for contest, "Poems That did Not place and More" (coffee) 09/06/15
