Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

Scented Leaves

Refreshing balm of scented leaves
imbued with flavours to excite
the palette, or relax the mind;
A beverage of pure delight.

Those silky leaves of olive green
From sloping hillsides far away,
now withered, bring me constant cheer
reviving spirits every day.

For blended with a floral note
of bergamot or chamomile,
an energizing cup of tea
is guaranteed to raise a smile.

Line Gauthier November 15, 2019 at 3:41 PM Very clever. My personal favorite is the steeped bergamot leaves. Here's to you, Wendy! Wendy Watson November 15, 2019 at 5:53 PM Thanks,Line. Yes, bergamot in the form over here of Earl Grey tea is very pleasant. I admit to being a tea-aholic!

Caren Krutsinger November 15, 2019 at 12:48 PM Wendy, I have learned somethng new that I did not know about the British. Good luck in the contest! Wendy Watson November 15, 2019 at 5:48 PM Thank you for taking the time to read and comment,Caren. Yes we Brits are keen tea drinkers!

Chris Green November 15, 2019 at 9:43 AM Beautifully written Wendy. You have created a wonderful fall day with your words and though we are experiencing dreary wet and cold weather, it has been forgotten while reading this. Best wishes in the contest. Wendy Watson November 15, 2019 at 5:47 PM What a lovely comment, Chris. I can give coffee a miss but a good cuppa is hard to beat!

Ts Poetry November 15, 2019 at 9:33 AM I wouldn't mind a cup and a smile... delightful Wendy Watson November 15, 2019 at 5:46 PM Actually between you and me, give me a regular tea with milk any day but the floral touch suited the title more! Thank you for reading and commenting.
