Drinking a Cup of Tea

Listen to poem:

*Image of Royal Alberts by Antiques And Teacups.

Drinking a Cup of Tea

An outing drizzling visits two,
walking past a depot.
Dashing through the rain they withdrew,
in a dressed gazebo.

Fine Albert's Country Rose teacups,
set on top matching plates.
Buttered toast and biscuit warmups,
a quaint morning translates.

Orange pekoe redolent blends,
blissful sip indulges,
chews, nibbles, and napkin wipe trends,
engaging divulges.

Taste spirits chatter that transcends,
ere squall is forgotten,
decency trades a storm extends,
a spot of tea brought in.

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 2/16/2023 7:06:00 AM I feel as though I have one of those cups in my hand William. I do so like tea, and foofaraw on occasion :) Very nicely penned! Congratulations on your top win! :) Login to Reply Hilo Poet Date: 2/16/2023 8:41:00 AM When I sold moms Honolulu house, there were other priceless things that went missing when I moved back to California. Filed complaints to Hawaii and California officials and the BBB. Somewhat glad to know that that year, they're no longer in business--but, it also meant that I wouldn't be able to further recoup my losses, c'est la vie mon amie. Hilo Poet Date: 2/16/2023 8:31:00 AM When she passed, I sold most of moms things, including her Rosewood Glass China Cabinet, but sadly lost her complete 12-pc set of the Prince Albert's, the complete 12-pc set of the Blue Dutch Boy Porcelain, and her Waterford crystals, and complete silver--utensils, 2 candelabras, coffeepot set, tea set, and the punchbowl set. All from that lit-up China cabinet which the movers in Calif. paid $400 per contract! Thanks, Linda. Aloha, William
