(Less Sentimental) Poetry & Coffee ... lol

 Haha yes — it is sentimental and a little cheesy… but in a comforting, cozy, “curl‑up‑with-a-warm-mug” kind of way. 😉

If you want, we can totally dial it back and make something:

  • less soft, more clever
  • more playful
  • more sarcastic / humorous
  • more minimalist-poetic
  • more realistic, less dreamy

Here are a few alternate tones you might vibe with:


1. More Playful / Witty

The thing about coffee
is that it turns me from a half-functioning cryptid
into someone who believes they can write a poem
before 10 a.m.

Not all of the poems are good.
But the coffee is.
So I feel like that counts.

Poetry isn’t always deep — sometimes it’s just noticing stuff,
like how my cup smells like courage
and a little bit of chaos.


2. Short + Minimalist + Aesthetic

Coffee is my reset button.
Poetry is the quiet after the click.
Some days I only manage one sentence.
Some days it’s enough.


3. More grounded, less floaty

I don’t drink coffee because it’s poetic.
I drink it because life is a lot
and caffeine helps.

But somewhere between the brewing and the breathing,
there’s always one moment that feels like a poem —
small, ordinary, unannounced.

Turns out most poems aren’t meant to be big.
They just want to be true.


4. A little snarky

Every morning I try to be a graceful, poetic human.
Every morning my coffee says:
“lol good luck.”

But I keep showing up anyway,
scribbling half-thoughts in a notebook
while my espresso pretends it can fix my entire personality.

Honestly?
Same.


5. Poem-only option (simple + not cheesy)

steam rising,
mind waking—
the day cracks open
one sip at a time.


If you want, I can help you pick a tone and build a full post around it.
Which vibe feels closest to your style?
