Cinnamon cup of coffee community

Why I absolutely love this community is very simple: the creativity in this community is very high, the writing prompts are different each week and they surely don't lack any creativity. Sometimes it doesn't resonate with my current mood but I can see that these prompts are original and this is what I love. If you're a coffee connoisseur but aren't a regular visitor yet, become one today!

Sparks

Lately, I have been checking the new prompts weekly and also felt inspired several times to publish creative writing which I had not done in ages until I found my way back to the community and for that alone, I salute you! It's great when you feel a bit blocked to write something creative and find back inspiration from original writing prompts almost every week when you check the fresh content.

Coffee anthem contest

I rarely join contests on Hive as I write for myself and usually not specifically because a task is proposed for Hivers to fulfill, there are loads of others who will join those but I have to feel the inspiration instantly to join a Hive contest. Reading the coffee anthem contest sparked my interest right away and while still reading and having no clue what to write exactly, I felt excitement and couldn't wait to get started. I am a little late entering my anthem so I doubt I can reach enough votes but hey, creativity can't be forced, lol.

The music

First, I had to decide which song to use as a guideline for my lyrics and this didn't take m more than 20 minutes to find the right one. I searched for the best coffee-themed songs and bumped into this one from Ella Mae Morse called "Forty Cups of Coffee" which was a new song to me.

Forgive me for not finding an instrumental version, if you know where to find it, let me know so I can add it. Now that you've heard the original, I'm going to share the lyrics I wrote on this music, I hope you enjoy it as I have heard the song probably hundreds of times while editing the lyrics to make the words as fitting to the song as possible. Here we go!

The Coffee Connoisseur

I've called the song "The Coffee Connoisseur" and although it doesn't fit the music of "Forty Cupc Of Coffee" perfectly, keep in mind that I'm not a songwriter. I hope you like it either way! Sometimes you have to swing with the words a bit to make them fit the music, give it a try, please. Don't forget to play the song for the best experience.

Tip: open a second tab where you play the music and meanwhile read the lyrics below.

Lyrics:

The Coffee Connoisseur

Close the doors, hold your hats
While I’m brewing your perfect coffee, I love to tease
I am the coffee connoisseur, the coffee connoisseur
I’m the coffee connoisseur and I am here to serve you all

Endless cups of coffee, I'll serve 'em up strong,
I'm born to serve you coffee, it is where I belong
I am the coffee connoisseur, the coffee connoisseur
I’m the coffee connoisseur and I am here to serve you all

While watching every sip, I’m biting my tongue
Checking all the people’s faces, and how they respond
I am the coffee connoisseur, the coffee connoisseur
I’m the coffee connoisseur and I am here to serve you all

Endless cups of coffee, I'll serve 'em up strong,
I'm born to serve you coffee it is where I belong
I am the coffee connoisseur, the coffee connoisseur
I’m the coffee connoisseur and I am here to serve you all

I tango with espresso and rock with Turkish delight,
An orchestra of flavors, from morning 'til night.
I am the coffee connoisseur, the coffee connoisseur
I’m the coffee connoisseur and I’m happy to serve you all

That's my coffee anthem

I hope you liked it or at least did not hate it lol. I know some parts ask for a playful way of pronouncing the words on the music to make it fit but I'm happy with the end result after going back and forward with the words 100s of times. I now also love this song, so it's added to my playlist.

Excellent creativity to make your anthem based on a beautiful song. I really liked the lyrics and while I was reading that jazzy sound accompanied the reading. Delighted with your anthem.

Thanks for sharing.
Good day.

Oh my god, so happy you liked it! I spent way more time on it than I wanted but that's because I didn't find an instrumental version. I'm proud of the result though, thanks for the cool contest!

This is such a sweet post, filled with coffee love! This part made me laugh out loud:

I hope you enjoy it as I have heard the song probably hundreds of times while editing the lyrics to make the words as fitting to the song as possible.

Liked the song but I think I'd go batty if I heard it more than 10 times in a row. At least he finally comes home in the end 🤣 You have some endurance! haha

Your lyrics were AWESOME too— it's clear you kept your wits about you through it all!

Thanks for the great read!

Wha can I say but wow.jpg

Haha, I see what you mean, luckily for me, I didn't even hear the actual lyrics anymore and was totally focused on my own lyrics while blocking out what she sang. At some point I found out I had one paragraph too much so I had to listen to the original and discovered he finally came home :)

Thanks for the compliment..

I am very glad that the good son always comes home and even more glad that creativity has joined God's thoughts to be part of this initiative.
I agree with you on the great creativity that characterizes this community and especially the receptivity of its administrators.

Let me congratulate you for your great creativity and courage in deciding to write this song for this drink that has brought us so much in our journey.
Much success in the contest.
Greetings @thisismylife

Yeah definitely - when some people get them all the time (often for dubious reasons) it keeps us going to get at least one once in a while. Saying that, i'm grateful for the support I recieve.

Likewise, I also think it helps to write for yourself and not for the rewards. Of course, we all hope for good rewards but I only write if I feel like doing so, and when I can't for some reason I don't feel bothered. I still feel excited though when big votes come in, even after these years :)

True, but I think that's also what makes us different from the cash grabbers, we appreciate the support.

I remember getting 50-100 no matter what I wrote as well. Those were the days, I hope we can have another of these rounds in the future :)

Good day to you -- no kittens here, but I messed up the previous night and started reading stuff before bed and then realized: "Oh, snap, it's Sunday and I'm due up in less than five hours!" So, I need to get my life together tonight, squeeze my lime into warm water, and hit the bed!

Haha I'm normally not the one who would listen to jazz but this one caught me immediately, yes. I can appreciate tons of music styles, to be honest.. good music is good music :)
Thank you so much!

There are totally times when we feel blocked as you say and we have that desire to make very creative content, however we always find that inspiration in the little things, for example, when I have a small cup of coffee I always find that inspiration where I didn't think I would find it. never and exactly with this I mean that I am coffee lovers.
