About This Poem

SAPPHIC

PERFECT BLEND





Orange pekoe steeps in an heirloom teapot

Novel open, feet on a velvet hassock

Charcoal skyline saturates shore and rooftop . . .

Snug in my cottage

    wowowow. I think I like yours better than mine, Cyndi. You did an awesome job with the challenge (do you think it was ok that I did two stanzas?) Also, thanks so much for pointing out to me that one line. Originally I had written the word "so" into the line and then when I typed it up, I forgot to put the so back in, so that was really nice of you to let me know I needed my extra syllable inside it. Luv, Andrea
