Brewing Sunsets In Teapots

I brew sunsets in teapots
I drink the dawn from a mug
and in my bicycle basket I have seduction in a jug
so now and then I take someone clean shaven home to my obliging bed
when I guess I should sit quietly pristine, 
with my legs crossed instead
but each day is so fragile
they black out every evening in the west
and all I got is these frail minutes
and I only want to live them, as if they were a fest.

Woah artsy and imaginative in a winsome poetic kind of way that i found so appealing. Some brew storms in a teacup but sunset in a teapot is a charming fig. idea. Nice to read u again.

Hey Dorian, thanks so much for reading and your always nice comments. This poem is strictly fictional, my husband is the only man I take to bed. LOL This write is simply a reaction of some articles I read recently about how a "true" woman should be and act, that I did not agree with. I believe in freedom and enjoying every minute of life as if it was the last.
