I have an addiction
It is plane to see.
I'll be standing in line,
No cuts in front of me.
Lots of people
Share this curse.
Spending hard earned money
Emptying their purse.
Handing over the cash
Without a second thought.
Finally holding in my hand
The delight I have bought.
Are you wondering what holds
This spell over me?
Look in my eyes
It is easy to see.
In the summer it's iced,
In winter hots the way.
It's a wonderous Starbuck's
One pump mocha latte.

I believe all good poetry begins with addiction! Good job!
I think Starbucks puts crack in their coffee. It's the only way. At this precise moment I have FIVE Starbucks gift cards in my wallet. Is that necessary in life? The only way to explain it? It's a TOTAL addiction.
Clever!
Yum, caffe' latte!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH love those, yummers;)
Love the poem. I'm a Diet Coke addict!
Ha! I love it! I knew it was Starbucks!
So awesome! Starbucks is so addicting! I love the black tea lemonade. My fave.

VL, that kind of how I feel chasing the bud truck down the street.
BIG HUGS
OMG - girl that is my FAVOURITE treat of the week. Our Starbucks on campus makes the BEST. Now I want one and I had my treat yesterday. From one Mocha Maven to another.
oooh. I have totally been craving Starbucks all day!
multiple people in my family are addicted to Starbucks as well. LOL.
That Starbucks is the undoing of so many!!!!
I love my coffee too, but I am too cheap to pay Starbucks prices!
I long ago decided that Starbucks are like drug dealers!
Mind you, this hasn't stopped me visiting!
So love the last stanza - love Starbucks! Although their ubiquity is sometimes annoying!
I want one!!! Cute poem!
sorry DD fan here. Of course, I don't drink coffee so it's all about the donuts for me. And the Vanilla Chais. ;) But cute poem.
One thing that I love about your poems is that I understand them!
Love your poem-love addiction!

The kind of addiction I deal with in my field is a bit different. And I am not a coffee person...pizza - that is my speed!
So glad to have met you!!!

Can you believe that we don't have Starbucks here in Perth????
After reading that I wish we did!!!
(of course we have coffee shops but our own Aussie chains)
For me, nothing but a Vienti Cafe Mocha will satisfy!
I had to make something like it at home to save time and money. Thanks for participating in Friday Follow. I am catching up to the links. Rita @ http://one2try.blogspot.com/
