it's strange because i never liked the color
brown, but as i gaze into your eyes, i can't help but fall irrevocably
in love with the creamy, smooth, rich color
of mocha coffee, and i hesitate in
turning away
from you, because i don't know
if i can function completely without
the caffeine that is your eyes

It's a light and fun piece! When reading the first few lines i was thinking "hmm slightly cheesy?" but then i read on and found that the way you use it makes it really cute, free and funny :)

Short, sweet, simple. Yet so relatable and effective. I love the extended metaphor of coffee.

This evokes a feeling that we've slll felt--the desire to see nothing but that one person because it gives us nothing but joy.

Hey! I love the reference to coffee. Yum. I also find it interesting that you lack capitalization. Is this purposeful, or it because you're in that awkward situation where you accidentally press "A" instead of the shift button, so you just don't capitalize? The spacing is also pretty cool. Congratulations on being on the front page and getting published! I'll look for your poem in the mag.

This was so great! I especially loved the last line two lines, "if i can function completely without the caffeine that is your eyes", it really tied the whole thing together. Beautiful!

I loved this metaphor with the brown eyes and the coffee! It was a really great poem, but I would suggest maybe adding on to this or making it longer because it is really interesting and I would like to see more of your work.

I love this, how the color brown relates to their eyes and coffee throughout, like a big metaphor! Great job.
