Coca-Cola haiku

give me bitter drink
more burning Coca-Cola
makes my taste buds flinch

beautiful red can
twelve ounce goodness can’t be beat
love the caffeine high

no price is too high
to quench my thirst i’ll pay much
four-fifty a pack

better is my world
while Coca-Cola rules it
master of taste buds

scintillating taste
Coca-Cola come to me
quench my thirst for you

UPDATE: inspired by Howard’s comment:

twenty ounce bottle
slammed it back while reading news
now it’s gone, i’m sad

add yer own in the comments, or just praise my talents. :)

  1. At 7:30 I cracked open a 20 oz bottle of the sweet brown carbonated nectar. Slammed it back while reviewing the news of the day. It’s empty now and I’m sad.

  2. You see, this is why the … er … um … you know, is hurting. Switch to non-caffeinated, SarahK! At least for one month and see if it doesn’t help.

  3. i promise, in the last month or so, i’ve cut back from 3-4 a day to 1-2 a day. and the SBG started after that.

  4. hmmm…..
    You know there might be one of those 12 step support groups for this.

    um…jus’ sayin’

  5. Not being a Southerner, I don’t know if by Coca-Cola you mean Coca-Cola, Pepsi, RC, Grape Shasta, Diet Rite . . . etc. Please clarify . . .

    And do you say co-ca co-la, or do you say coc-co-la.

    And, being from MN and ND, I have NEVER heard anyone utter the word “Cocoa-Cola.” We only say Coke. If there was a 100 ft wide sign in front of my face that said Coca-Cola, I would say “Hey, that’s a big Coke sign.” Is this just artistic license?

  6. Pepsi’s what I heart
    It buries Coke with each sip
    Crack a can for me

  7. jonags smoking crack
    Doctor Pepper’s for Texans
    shame on SarahK

  8. Maggie’s curls too tight
    Dr Pepper’s just okay
    Pepsi’s the shiznit

  9. sweet nectar of life
    acid eating me alive
    what is addiction?

  10. that’s right…Dr.Pepper is the elixir of the gods…but Texans say (me being a diehard born and raised and plan to die Texan) “Let’s go get a coke” meaning of course let’s go get a Dr. Pepper, the elixir of the gods. Oh and your poem was great SarahK.

  12. modern poetry?
    Haiku from ancient Japan
    samurai hobby

  13. Cherry Coke is the official economists drink at least according to Warren Buffett.

    So hurray. Jolly Good Job, fine lass.

  14. Your talents! I praise them!

    :)

  15. joshua, i can quit anytime!

    kevin, Coca-Cola means Coca-Cola. however, if i say Coke, i mean any soft drink. and if i saw a big Coke sign, i wouldn’t say that, because it’d be obvious.

    bikermommy, it’s not a poem, goofy goof, it’s several haiku.

    maggie and jonag
    y’all are cracking me up good
    with your fightin’ words

    and to answer the question at hand…

    Pepsi’s so nasty
    Doctor Pepper’s all sugar
    Have a Coke and smile.

    BDew, that’s beautiful. thank you Dave.

    and Frank, i’m blushing. :)
