Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Rose Tea With Miss Gladys

Miss Gladys befriended me at church
Invited me to her house for rose tea
Her table was exquisitely set with lace and doilies
Embroidered napkins, and beautiful flowers
She put out the most gorgeous peacock tea cups
I had no idea how to sip between peacock’s head and tail.
Miss Gladys laughed at my consternation 
Brought out her every day cups with a tray of cookies
I was immensely relieved

Darlene De Beaulieu May 22, 2022 at 11:14 AM Hello Caren, I would of wondered how to drink tea from those peacock tea cups. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu May 23, 2022 at 10:44 AM Hello Caren, It makes sense to me these cups are just show pieces. Nothing more. Hugs. Caren Krutsinger May 23, 2022 at 2:04 AM These cups are beautiful but do not work
