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.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
