I loved your poem, Alexander. The form and the meter were beautiful and the message even more wonderful. I'm going to pour myself another cup of coffee right now.

Perfect poetic depiction of morning ritual ... My espresso-cappuccino maker is my favourite machine but black coffee with grounds in it and sometimes a bit of sand will always make my mornings magical. I have that when I go tenting. A steel percolator on a Coleman stove, a brisk wind, a jacket that smells of campfire remind me of my childhood when Summer took us to the beaches and lighthouses. :)

Can't survive without it. Straight from bed to kitchen, anybody gets in my way there will be trouble. First thing I do every day is pour.
