The Specialty Coffee House

A poem about specialty coffee and also appears in my newest book, 'A Large Double-Double Please'.

How does one decide once they enter inside
Between Latte or Cappu and Frappu, not tried?
There’s Tall, which is small, and Grande full blown
But there’s Espresso and decaf or organically grown
Ground up or French roasted, or maybe just whole
Picking something I’d like could prove quite a goal.

Is it Cocoa, no Mocha or fruity blended up thick
One needs help to decide because I surely can’t pick
Picking one type of coffee, such an incredible chore
With aromas of eggplant, fruits and spices galore
There’s a white or dark chocolate to blend over ice
Yet aromas with wine about now sounds quite nice.

Light ones and dark ones, blends from Arabia too
Coffee from Asia and Africa perhaps even Peru
If refreshing or smooth isn’t your cup of tea
There’s deep and full-bodied aroma you see
Now let’s not forget Christmas or holiday blends
Good God there’s too many where does it all end?

Still, a clean or crisp coffee should be a nice treat!
Yet others run on a ton of high octane - too sweet!
Is it whipped as you sip, white chocolate or dark
Consider the journey you’re now about to embark
So many specialty coffees served so many ways
Know what you want so you’re not there for days.

Interesting write, but I will stick with regular coffee because it is just to tough to decide. Enjoyed.

Be safe,
Karen

Lol! I am so glad I drink original dunkin donuts. Only. Little bit of white chocolate dairy creamer and I am good to go! I just don't get this coffee craze. Oh well...entertaining and very well written piece!

Kind A SLOw In The Kootenays v2.2 by RickthePoetWarrior

Has-beens and coffee get together to recreate a same old new tourist trap in a land even the First Nations don't want.
