How do you like your coffee? With or without words?

http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/DineshThePoet/1...

"Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future; Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life." - Thich Nhat Hahn.

Update:

@Jen: And Coleridge was just politely trying to say he was high?

Update 2:

@Oakwolf: 'Mob' is actually a collective noun for deers. How cool is that! A Mob Of Deers.

    I like the poem. I say the same thing in my, just a slight nuance. lol

    Your last line is interesting and can be taken in different ways. I

    look at it this way: the actual moment of drinking coffee is life

    itself. May seem trite, but I have missed a cup maybe a couple

    times in the last 10 years.

    I am a coffee connoisseur, and buy mine from Oh thank Heaven

    for Seven-Eleven.

    I do prefer it with two words:

    1. Cream

    2. Sugar

    Tried black a long time ago and never could like it. Too, I just like "Regular" blend

    I love my morning coffee

    Which I often get off-free

    Two cups every morning

    Doctors final warning

    Cream and sugar added

    Bowels stay un-padded

    Coffee and a BM

    Tell others when you see them

    Congrats

    yep as one of my favorite Buddhist philosophers, Thich Nhat Hahn, would say "we only have moments to live. Live eat moment breath by breath, step by step."

    My favorite line of yours is "there are better things than to speak"

    well done

    I drink my tea immediately. No sugar, no milk, no honey. espresso, on the different hand, I actually have drink with cream, sugar, cocoa, and inspite of else i'll unload in there. when I drink espresso, it truly is for the caffeine and by no potential the style.

    I may be wrong, but it almost feels like you're telling the other person, in a polite way, to shut-up.

    Excellent poem, my compliments. Only minor edit would be to consider on the last line: "and sip"

    Very wise proverb. Ironically, that's how I smoke my joints.
