Perusing the Tea

Perusing the tea, what it brings, vitality, refreshing, or tranquility. tea’s altruistic - the elixir gives itself to succor ailments I warm leaves up when my hands and feet are icy cold. The boil arouses my expectations. The raucous kettle poured over a roomy sachet. the tea bag’s floating - my bobbers are on its craft as the scent surges My hands rejoice as they gently wrap around the cup and rebound. When the minuet knells, the unfurled dose is tossed and what remains is to be enjoyed in a calm and comfortable setting, ideally with pretty things and perhaps a nibble of treats. lift from lace doily - a sip of essential oils and crumpet or two What’s better than to sit across from special friends. The setting of a magnolia tea house or with one’s teddy bears. little ones practice - imagination infused with love’s sugar cubes Perusing the tea, what it brings, essence to our lives.

I'm reading this in the context of the previous poem, Deluge of Dew. You're sharing, in words, the experience of something wonderful. I real pleasure to read and feel the joy you feel from one of life's simple pleasures--here if you know where to look. Thanks for sharing as I can practically smell the tea.

If I drink iced tea, I like it unsweetened. Herbal, Chai, etc… all unsweetened for me. (I guess I’m sweet enough ;)

Great poem about the soothing and healing nature of tea, as well as the ritual and experience of enjoying a cup of tea, Kim. Your word choice conveys a sense of warmth, comfort, and relaxation. Good luck with the contest and thanks for your comment and favorite on my poem.

Thanks for sharing this one with us. I don't know if it is for a contest or not, but it reads like a good contender to me. You make drinking a nice cup of hot tea sound so great. Some of those teas made for special times of the time like sleepy time are great. I appreciate all your encouraging visits to my page. Sara K
