If coffee can talk,
It will tell of success and victories.
Talk, coffee, talk.
It will tell tales of defeat
Of loss, of damage, of failure and of injuries,
If coffee can talk.
Tales of heartaches and moods downbeat
Of triumphs amidst difficulties.
Talk, coffee, talk.
Talk of crossroads where lovers meet
Or distant love over vast seas.
If coffee can talk,
It will tell of discussions and debates upbeat
Treaties signed and concessions to please.
Talk, coffee, talk.
Tell of grand festivals or a feast,
To put the old and young minds at ease
If coffee can talk.
Talk, coffee, talk.

I've forgotten the technicalities of the villanelle, so can't say for sure... It's a great piece, though! Welcome to Sunday Scribbling.

I read up on its rhyme pattern but I'm still doubting myself. Haha!! I really do hope I got it right, though.
It's my first time joining. Thank you, greenishlady =)

It's scary though, isn't it? Imagine sitting down with a cup of coffee and then it suddenly talks back and spills the world's secrets on you.
