    "it's not a sin to think of you as coffee. So dark and lusious, I would take another sip. What happens if your cup is emmpty? I'll fill you up with love, cause baby, I'll be your sugar."

    ^No this was good, it made me smile.

    And yes it has to be about coffee or revolve around it in someway. You do not have to mention the word in your quote but lean towards it.

    Thanks!

    A mix of a bit of bitter and sweet, life's all about how you choose to mix 'em. and when you're offered some, remember - the cups have just got the looks, what matters and is real is what's in it.

    I don’t want it dark and bitter
    naa put some milk in it and make it light and sweet
    so when I take a sip it tastes very rich
    I want that coffee that keep me up all night ;-)

    i tried my hand at it i think im bad at quotes lol.

    Here's mine, i hope it doesnt seem too long .

    Coffee does not make me sleep, it keeps me so awake.
    I tried my best to stay up all night , to work and get an A.
    But hours later my head is on the desk and I'm dreaming of my test.
    My mind is blank, so I failed my test but then I lift my head.
    I realized it was all a dream and knew I had to study.
    So in the fridge I search for a drink that will satisfy my tummy.
    I drink and drink , and blink and blink to find my eyes wide open.
    Coffee does not make me sleep, it keeps me so awake.

    Early in the morning- Bliss
    Smell that tingles the nostrils- Aroma
    Slowly sip its sweetness- Warmth
    Caffeine starts to circulate- Energy
    The perfect start to the day- Coffee

    I like my coffee with milk and sugar
    For that i'm quite an expensive customer
    I don't like a spoon it it though, so keep it away
    Sitting on my red vilted couch with a good book
    Now it's time for some coffee and cigarettes baby!

    My attempt here ya go.
