COFFEE MONSTER

Like a monster in my coffee cup
you take level latitudes beyond
my perception.
Throwing slimy mud with a talented aim
to cover my thoughts like a bandaid.
I wonder if you bunk with demons
who aid you in disguise?
Do they cling to your belt
while you bow to the caffine God?
You will not tell...
But still your smile of arrogance
reflects a taunt
in a liquid black mirror.

Forgive me
This arrogance
I must boast
You see
It took some talent
To reach this latitude
Trudging through mud
Listening to bunk
Coming to the aid
Of a
Drunken monster
Scratched tightening
My belt
I need a band aid
All of this
Achieved
Whilst holding
A cup
Of coffee and
Not drinking
Or losing
A drop

Loved the read. You did a great job with the words.

Ahhhhh here's my response.....hope you like it! What fun!!

I stumble toward the mirror
from my narrow bunk
horns peeking out from under
my tousled hair.
I gaze at myself in the mirror
and run some hot water,
pick up the razor to shave
last night’s growth of hair.
I have a talent
for nicking myself
and soon there is blood everywhere
Bandaids cover many of the scratches.
I offer myself some latitude
with my arrogance thinking I can
shave without waking up
and before coffee.
I wander to the kitchen
and start the magic brewing.
My neighbour, a basso profundo
Belts out opera
Too early in the morning
Where oh where is my hearing aid!
I drink the coffee, black as night mud
and slowly the monster I was
subsides
and I am human once more.

Wishing you happiness

Misty

Lol Misty,
I think there is a lesson there for us all. Shaving and Half asleep don't mix, lol. ha ha. I could imagine this poor woman wandering around with all the bandaids stuck on, lol.
I enjoyed reading your poem, it made me laugh.
You did great with the words.

Great poems...I'll post mine here too, for ease of reference. Thanks for all your comments on my blog. I believe elaine67 has done one too in honour of her brother.

You come round here with
Your coffee break arrogance
And your bandaid smile,
Your belt slung low as a
Tropical latitude, leering
Like a monster
Hanging downside up
From hell's top bunk,
Oozing mudhut talent
With a breezeblock charm.
And you say I need
Emotional first aid?

The bandaid on my mouth
prevents me from drinking coffee
Someone please take it off
release my hands,tied with a belt
But be cautious my dear friends
I could turn into a monster
the latitude will free me
from chains and shackles I once felt
My vulnerable feature's fake,
there's arrogance inside
but yet I'm talented enough
for you to come to aid
It's mud that blurs your view
created in your own mind
If you free me from these chains
you'll wake up being afraid
You will wish you'd given me whiskey
in stead of coffee, black
Coffee makes me talkative
Whiskey, sleepy and drunk
Now the cafeine will do it's job
You will have no more rest
You will wish you hadn't given me coffee
so you could still be dreaming in your bunk

gawd....that's the best I can do...

Hi Riny
Lol, has someone got you in bondage?

I like this piece and I'm going to give you coffee so that you keep talking
Great work, I like what you did with the list of words.
Thanks for taking part.

Hehe, it wasn't easy to do this (for a dutch guy who never used words like bunk, didn't even know what it was when I read it first), so it took me some time to work on it, but I enjoyed doing it...allthough I think I lost the rhythm a bit in the end. But an inspiring blog Muse!!!! keep it up!!

Lol, thank you. I'm glad you managed to find the meaning of all the words. I also had the same problem with one word on a previous list compiled by an Australian woman. I couldn't find it in the dictionary either and had to go ask her what it meant.

Hello heres my poem Muse:
LIFES MUD.
If lifes mud was real i'd look like a monster
The coffee I slurped earlier keeps me ever stronger
I have a talent for perserverance
And i'll get rest in the end in my bunk bed in my minds view in the clearance
But meanwhile I'll trudge along wearing my band aid
My stratagies for success are already made
Peoples arrogance wont hold me back
i am determined ive got that knack
The Latitude of struggles i've overcome
Some people are below the belt and some are just dumb
People won't need to come to my aid
I have a life of experience and im not afraid

Hello Cheryl
Great poem. I like that the character of the piece has a positive leaning towards strength and endurance, even if they have been bruised once in a while. It comes through loud and clear. Nice work
I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge. I didn't think so many people would give it a go, lol. I guess since people are asking for another one, then I will post a new challenge soon.
Nice of you to visit again. Have a great week
hugs
Muse

One coffee to go please
All that coffee under the belt,
Leads to sleepless knights,
Dreams and nightmares,
Restless plights.

Mud monsters under your bunk,
Knowing the longitude and,
Latitude not arrogance to say,
This is where I’d like not to stay,
I now can convey needless to say.

Free of band-aids, evidence of hurt,
Aid me no further, I’m doing okay,
Give me a place free of the dirt,
Hurt and dismay, that’s where
I’m gone a` stay.

I really enjoyed reading your poem onwheels. I think you did great with the list. Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, unfortunately I have technical problems at the moment.

Well done on your achievement of being published. Long may your success continue. Keep up the good work
