One Lump or Two

             Two  sugar  of lumps
             Pause  above tea cup
             You raise an eyebrow
             I   quiver  with    mine

                                        Please  keep them both
                                        You are  sweet  enough
                                        To cherish  some  more
                                        Sweet tea with laughter

Andrea Dietrich August 6, 2026 at 7:57 PM So is this what you meant in your blog? To form the object such as lump with your words? I really do like this. Sweet as sugar tea!🌹 John Anderson August 6, 2026 at 8:06 PM Yes, that is a very simple example => the 'lump' is a strange hangover from the past before sugar came in cubes,

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 6, 2026 at 6:20 PM This is truly filled with attitude.☕️🫖🧁 John Anderson August 6, 2026 at 8:07 PM 👍⭐✍️ title => image => poem - Ah Nice Cuppa!
