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. Muse2u © 2003 - 2007

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

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

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...

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
