Saturday Sonnet

A light sonnet celebrating my writing office – Starbucks.

In a Starbucks World

We’re defined by our beverage of choice.

The Teas and Chai Tea Lattes are of green

tree-hugging, forward-thinking social mien.

The Vanilla Latte are sweet of voice

And have a lighter, kinder view of life.

Straight Black are extremely matter-of-fact

And like all things to be right and exact.

For Caffe Mocha, darker days are rife

With cocoa hints of saccharine relief.

The Caramel Macciatos are wise

With pronuniciation skills others prize.

For those who seek a more complex motif,

Change up your size or go nonfat, no foam.

It’s best, though, not to stray too far from home.
