Everyday
Today, we’d like to challenge you to write your own ode celebrating an everyday object.

You open yourself so easily
When edges are pushed gently
A baseless and upsidedown pyramid
Waiting eagarly to be filled with ground coffee
and hot water
Your discering and wise judgement
Creates the perfect boundary
Between wet and dirt-like coffee grounds
And heavenly hot coffee dripping through
You keep good hold of the used coffee
As I throw you unthinkingly into the bin
