Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

Coffee Tales..Haiku
sleepy awake state so much caffeine in my body, am now living dead
***************************************
I have not done this for a long time now. This came out of drinking too much of the beverage!
Well said, I think I know just what you mean! It can even happen without caffeine - if you push yourself too far, it's like you go into a kind of overdrive and can't sleep even though you're way behind on sleep. A sort of zombie like state...
In fact I wish I could get to that right now because I am zonked!
There's supposed to be an intermediate state: dreaming awake. Coffee is belived to have been used first by dervishes of Soutern Arabia, to keep them awake in their all-nigth rituals. When I can't sleep due to too much coffee, I feel like a dervish - a poor man on his way to freedom, but that's about all there is to my dervishhood!:)

How fun- a caffiene induced haiku! Looks like a messy drinker, too. How fun- a caffeine induced haiku! Looks like a messy drinker, too.
I'm this way every day!! Good work. :)
i have given up coffee completely
it was quite easy
i've not had a cup now for almost ten minutes :)
percival: I have been in that state too many times. When I am dead beat, I can't sleep! Like they say too tired to sleep, too tired to stay awake.
