Paulette Calasibetta Poet Rhyme

Afternoon Tea

Strains of chamber music fill the air
                  Invited guests have come to share,

                  Cozied pots filled with steeping teas
                  For the Kitties, Collie, Bear and me.

                  A table filled with a sumptuous fare,
                  Cakes, scones with cream, and a torte with pears

                  Served on plates edged in filigree
                  A perfect afternoon, a jubilee.

Anne E Sangster - K November 16, 2021 at 9:26 PM Hi Paulette. I enjoyed reading your afternoon tea. The imagery took me there. I'm actually craving a scone with cream now.
