A Lovely Day For a Tea Party

Instead of hate, please pass the scones There is no need for guns and drones A tablecloth of white and pink Is better than a shroud, I think With saucers of a china blue To hold our cups of loving brew No need they match in color style For beauty knows them all the while The petit fours in rainbowed squares Reflect the world of one who cares Where differences are meant to be To live and love all truly free Why must this be a sugared dream Somewhere inside us, it would seem That common sense and goodness dwell To seek of heaven, not of hell It’s a lovely day for a tea party

A TEA PARTY for the ages, an untethered jubilance. Why worry about the trivialities-be carefree and cavaliere! Mike, you are invited to my garden party, just as soon as I write one up. ~Anaya

I rather have a tea party than be known as a smarty. Peace on this happy Friday, Mike. Bill

Oh, Mike, I cannot tell you how this poem affected me! If have asked myself over and over "why must this be a sugared dream" about peace and joy, so easily obtained and, yet, so elusive in the world. Fine writing, my friend. Have a marvelous weekend.
