I wrote this poem as an assignment for a creative writing class I took in college. As I cannot get the “form” to come out correctly – I wrote it in a word document and then took a picture of it.
The words are as follows:
~
Soda
Lemon, lime
Clear, crisp, bubbly
Low sodium, no caffeine
Sweet with no diet aftertaste
In red, white, green aluminum can
Condensation forming then; drops combining as one
Explosion of tab, pouring it into glass
Tinted tall, filled with ice cubes
Bring it up to lips
Tilt it and take
A big gulp
Swallow it
Burp
~~~
