Such an outrageous vocabulary!! I am so hungry! I can hear your accent through the words... A hot steamy tea sounds wonderful as well (and it's about 90' today). Powerful writing. A lovely poem so short and sweet... it's off to the kitchen for me. love, karen

Sounds very decadent and bad for the figure. Sounds scrumptious. Regards Heidie

Hey, this is right on point. Teatime was my favorite while studying at the University of West London in Brunel. I just love it. Save me a cup. Great job! ~Joseph
