Valsa George Poet Rhyme

A Cup of Tea

 I hear the tea pot singing
With the amber liquid sizzling
I see spouts of vapor ejecting
With sweet aroma spreading

A cup of hot steaming tea
Revives us on every morning
As we sip it when we scan the news
We feel the early languor lifting

Nothing like a cup of well blended tea
For a tired soul to enliven his body
Its delicious taste and delicate fragrance
Make it everyone’s lovesome buddy

A heavenly drink for the torpid minds
A beverage brewed from the best of herbs
A magic potion for the feverish lips
Which in tiresome hours, everyone yearns

Tea time is the pleasant family time
How we babble and burble over a cup of tea
Drawing people closer, cementing relations
Sure, it’s a time to look forward with glee

Kim Rodrigues February 1, 2026 at 5:21 AM Lovely! Our family time is with coffee. This is an uplifting write, dear Valsa! I see you have a couple of books out. Congrats!

Jo Chamberlain May 7, 2022 at 12:31 PM Brilliant! Tea definitely needed its own piece of poetry. The power of a cup of tea, for me everything feels better with a Yorkshire tea in hand, it has to be Yorkshire tea though.

Sotto Poet April 24, 2022 at 11:07 AM Hardly almost nothing strikes a hot cup of tea in the morning to get you out of bed and moving. Valsa, I wish you all the best of success in the contest.

Gershon Wolf April 23, 2022 at 7:23 PM You've got me 'babbling and burbling,' Valsa: Why am I still drinking coffee if tea can do all this for me?! ~ Change I just might believe in! :) gw

Christuraj Alex April 23, 2022 at 9:06 AM Beautiful on tea and tea-time. Very minute-detailed. Congratulations!

Andrea Dietrich April 22, 2022 at 4:19 PM I was never a tea drinker until about ten years ago and now I really like it. There are so many wonderful blends that are healthful to us. Sweet poem.

Eve Roper April 22, 2022 at 1:20 PM Good rhyming verse,Valsa. I love call iced tea with lemon,But never had a taste for hottie. Good luck in the contest

Rico Leffanta April 22, 2022 at 11:18 AM Trust the Japanese to make tea a ritual requiring strict obedience! Enjoyed your poem more than a cup of tea! Aloha!

Bill Baker April 22, 2022 at 8:13 AM A nice way to spend time alone or with a friend. Sharing a spot of tea. Good luck in the contest, Valsa. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

Victor Buhagiar April 22, 2022 at 5:32 AM I take tea only once a day. A mugful plus a sandwich plus a handful of multicolored pills. No time for any news, I'm always too busy.

Kim Rodrigues April 22, 2022 at 5:20 AM The warmth of your first verse pulls me right in! Likely to impress the contest sponsor! Hugs ~ Kim

Vijay Pandit April 22, 2022 at 5:08 AM Tea is everywhere, especially where you live, and it is a medium that facilitates social exchange --as you have so wonderfully described. This is a lovely ode to tea, Valsa.

Demetrios Trifiatis April 22, 2022 at 5:07 AM What an invigorating cup of poetic tea, my dearest friend, Valsa! Very inspiring and...tasting! Be blessed!

Sara Kendrick April 22, 2022 at 4:31 AM We mostly drink iced tea here in the south but occasionally I will drink a cup of tea. I like it with a couple of cookies. Mostly in the cold months we drink coffee which is the same gather around and enjoy the conversation kind of gift. Your works reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. I appreciate the visit to my page. Sara

Tom Cunningham April 22, 2022 at 12:56 AM Nothing beats a nice cup of tea to bring you around in the morning. Best of luck in the contest Valsa. Tom
