Notes About The Poem

Chinese Tea Ceremony

tea pot greets with a whistle sound,
family gather in the hall,
to raise a toast of love for all!

boiling water spurts round and round,
many spoons of tea in the pot,
to make enough tea for the lot!

fresh tea aroma all around,
porcelain cups of fine design,
on a table made of smooth pine.

perfect Chinese tea to astound,
years of tradition on display,
they quietly sit, bow to pray.

enjoy ceremony on ground,
let eyes savour artistic floor,
sky and garden through open door!

tea pot greets with a whistle sound,
boiling water spurts round and round,
fresh tea aroma all around,
perfect Chinese tea to astound,
enjoy ceremony on ground.

Oh I love this. I have become addicted to tea in my older age. It is such a nice beverage. I especially like licorce tea! But green tea is supposed to be beneficial so I drink it with honey and lemon also. I think you did a GREAT constanza with this theme.
