Envelope Couplet - Coffee Cup

This is a variation of the Stave Stanza that is stricter in form. It is made up of three stanzas, where the first and last line are the same in each stanza. The second and fifth line also rhyme with the first and last, leaving the center couplet as the only rhyme change. The form is as followed: A1.a.b.b.a.A2...A1.a.c.c.a.A2....A1.a.d.d.a.A2.

"Coffe Cup"

Coffee cup, you are my salvation
Creating the most delightful sensation
Upon my thirsty lips
I dink in your refreshing sips
After our lengthened flirtation
I have fallen to your temptation

Coffee cup, you are my salvation
You give me such liberation
To have with your but a moment
of peace removes all my torment
For you I have such a fixation
I have fallen to your temptation

Coffee cup, you are my salvation
Your grinds and beans are a beautiful creation
That brightens every morning
Of your taste I am so adoring
To this addiction I have such dedication
I have fallen to your temptation
