A Cup of Tea

A cup of tea is life 
_____________

Red daisy and on it, your hand's impression
the tree trunk, squirrel and the sun in a session 
lifting the paddy root with an edgy sickle 
A teacup and the lips in a morning cohesion

The horse ready; the rider too pulls his socks up
Circling two lips, the bird is whistling up
With back on the tree, the sun catches the larks
The clock on wall striking seven and half 

A cup of tea is life, and a sickle is the yield 
Two dogs came running from across the field 
You walk down the street wearing large eyeglasses 
Behind the dark tinge, a strategy is concealed 

A suggestion through metaphors or images is poetry.
A concrete meaning is perhaps not necessary
