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. 15.11.19 A Simple Pleasure Poetry Contest Sponsor : Julia Ward (chamomile rhymes with 'smile' in British English) Scented leaves poetry contest : Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues

Very clever. My personal favorite is the steeped bergamot leaves. Here's to you, Wendy!

Thanks,Line. Yes, bergamot in the form over here of Earl Grey tea is very pleasant. I admit to being a tea-aholic!

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.

What a lovely comment, Chris. I can give coffee a miss but a good cuppa is hard to beat!

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.
