Can't wake up - eyes half closed
Overslept - must have dozed
Five fifteen - heart attack
Fling the night - Off my back
Eggs and toast - have to wait
Every morning running late
Pull my butt - out of bed
Leave my brain - there instead
Enter here - I drive up
Ask the girl - for a cup
Steaming brew - truth be told
Every drop is liquid gold!  

After reading Moose's challenge in the workshop, I thought I might give this form a try.

Poetry is the sculpting of words. We ALL start with a lump of clay.

Looks pretty good to me Cat. But I think it is an acrostic. I don't recognize anacrostic

Content is light, appropriate and meaningful. Meter is consistent. Rhymes good and unforced. And primarily, it is an acrostic. In short, it looks like a keeper to me, a good way to start the day

Coffoe-is it addiction?
Love it-or need it?
Every morning-have to have it?
Very sad-hope you shed it
Even tho-you wrote well
Regaled me-with your wakening

Thanks a bunch - for the read
Helps my work - to succeed
Anacrostic ain't a word
Not to mention - quite absurd
Keys got stuck - great discord!
Slopped some coffee on my board

All in fun
Done just fine
Only one cream
Roiled in mine
Absolute coffee fun
Bubbling over
Lightly this time
Easy, easy on the rhyme~

What a FUN write~
Love the acrostic humor of you~
