Poem 1 -
Title - Whispers of Pages & Brew
In the cafe's warm embrace, books await,
Soft steam rises from a porcelain cup.
Pages turn like whispers in the light,
Coffee's rich scent weaves through every line.
A novel's hero sips espresso dreams,
While poetry brews in the corner nook.
Books and cafe, timeless lovers' dance,
Ink stain fingers, foam kisses the lip.
Chapters unfold amid clinking spoons,
Stories simmer like a perfect pour.
Here, in the haven of leaf and bean,
Worlds collide in aromatic peace.
One book, one cafe, endless escape,
Hearts caffeinated, minds forever fed.
Sip the tale, let the pages steep.
Poem 2 -
Title - Coorg's Literary Brew
In Coorg's mist-kissed hills, where the coffee blooms boldly,
Books lean against the bamboo, stories untold.
Arabica whispers through fog-draped estates,
Pages soaked in the scent of roasted fates.
A worn novel pairs with a steaming black brew,
Rain patters on tin roofs, adventures accure.
Books and coffee entwine in the highlands' hush,
Kodava winds turn chapters to cherished rush.
Sip the dark elixir, let words cascade free,
Coorg cradles the soul in literary spree.
2. Dr. Deepikha Barathan
Poem -
When am in dilemma,
When am in misery,
When am in tragic,
I take a book!
A cup of coffee,
Aside me,
A breeze of wind,
Beside me;
I open the book,
The book cover,
The book chapters;
And carried away,
By the story,
Guess the plot,
It's the grasping book!
3. Dildarul Karim Dildar
Poem -
Title - Caffeine and Medicine
Amidst the chaos, hefty syllabus of medicine,
Between open books and cups of caffiene,
I breathe in a dim - lit library room,
While coffee keeps away the gloom.
Margins filled with hurried thoughts,
Concepts lost, then slowly caught,
A sip, a page, a silent fight,
Between heavy lids and endless night.
The aroma lingers, calm yet deep,
Guarding dreams I cannot sleep,
Ink and caffeine, side by side,
Become my refuge, quiet pride.
Notes pile high like walls to climb,
Each chapter racing against time,
Yet in the hush of turning pages,
I outgrew fears in the quiet stages.
Some nights I doubt if I'll get through,
When nothing reads the way it should do,
But one more sip, one page more read,
And courage softly lifts its head.
In every cup, a spark I find,
In every book, a restless mind -
And somewhere between the bitter brew,
I learn, I break, I begin anew,
I'm not just cramming what is known -
I'm building a mind, slowly my own.
With every doubt I learn to refine,
A way to think that's truly mine.
4. Priya Srivastava
Poem -
Books and coffee make the sweetest pair,
A quiet love story floating in the air.
When I read fiction, I need you near,
When I read novels, you're always here.
Coffee and book, I want a date with you,
A little table, a peaceful view.
My dream is simple to sit and read slow,
With a warm cup cradled in winter's glow.
In mountain hills of Mussoire, at zero degrees I'll be,
Eyes wide open, just my book, my cofee, and me.
5. Priyanka Bhandarkar
Title - Enroute from Bangalore
With regret over the travelouge,
Took a pause to observe the beautiful coffee shop.
Hold on, you are there
Let coffee do the thing
Set right the rustic vibe,
Measure away the sin.
With work from home,
A little space for dedication,
Choose to seek love,
What people could use.
Suddenly the spell broke,
A good cinnamon roll.
The spice, the sugar, the glaze,
The messy beautiful ways.
Books and coffee.
For when you can finally rest
The sweetness of letting go!

Poem - Coffee and books
7. Suhas Lahurikar
शीर्षक: मेरी कॉफी, मेरी किताब
एक दिल को शांति देती है, एक दिमाग को सुकून देता है।
तो दूसरी दिल के हर तनाव को धीरे-धीरे बहा ले जाती है।
और किताबों के हर पन्ने में जैसे नई दुनिया खुलती है।
कॉफी या किताब—अब किसी एक को नहीं चुनूंगा।
और कॉफी को हर सुबह अपने पेट में रखूंगा।
और किताब लिखते-लिखते कॉफी पीयूंगा।
और जहाँ कॉफी खत्म होगी, वहाँ किताब राह देगी।
