Poetry On Odyssey: The Best Seattle Has To Offer

Somedays I just don't get around in time in the morning to enjoy my cup of coffee — or five. But the feeling I get upon it entering my system after missing for a few hours is unexplainable.

Pace patiently, pavement.

Wake up, plant in the window.

Caffeine hasn't kicked in yet.


Espresso beans,

I have an addiction, it seems.


That pink mug I drink from,

maybe it's a syringe,

maybe it is a glass pipe.


non-dairy cream,

I have an addiction, it seems.


your lips taste like coffee,

your breath smells like coffee,

your shirt is stained with coffee.



sweet stevia leaf,

I have an addiction it seems.


don’t talk before coffee,

I can't focus before coffee,

I can see the plant from the sidewalk.


ground cinnamon,

I have an addiction it seems.


your eyes are always dilated,

what are you like when your sleepy?

do you ever get angry?


don’t forget to call,

I have an addiction it seems.


things aren’t going as planned,

I’ve so many plans,

I’ve always got a plan.


I always come back,

I have an addiction it seems.


I'm trying to be constant,

I’m trying to keep it dark,

black enough to keep me awake.


Seattle’s best,

I have an addiction it seems.


I need to eat a lot of calories,

So that I don't shrivel up again,

but I want to stay healthy, don’t I, a healthy weight?


Sometimes I forget to eat,

I have an addiction it seems.


I think a lot, like tons,

of thoughts, so much.

You could say I overthink.


It's bloody eating me,

I have an addiction it seems.


I've tried to hook it,

Put a price tag on it.

I've tried to lose it in caffeine and feeling.


8.99 for 12 oz.,

I have an addiction it seems.


Most nights I can't sleep,

I like to blame it on the beans,

I'd like to do it again, all over again.


Pumpkin spice,

I have an addiction it seems.


How would a Holy Water be if it was spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon and cream? Too much.


I've been thinking Holy Water should be brown.

I have an addiction it seems.


I’m finding things in the walls,

I found something in the reflection,

against the dark water.


My teeth are dirty now, like a smoker.

I have an addiction it seems.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
