Tea Time

Listen to poem:
Written: January 16, 2024 ___________________________________ Strength of herbs oozes vivacity and harmony Chamomile elixir elevates mood, Innermost wassail dreams.  Galled, gurgling water groaned A shining auric foil, ebullience in water, Watching koi carp float sends us into zen. In a bucolic corner, sipping a hot emollient tea Warming, calming, and flower-scented, It whistles with the birds. Ethereal beam of brightness finds its way Into every steeping cup, Fetching a warm grin with each sip. These leaves warm our hearts Drinking it on a cold night is a thrill, A nostalgic aroma of pride soothes minds. Visions of China brimming the psyche, a lambent tour of exotic, distant lands.

Great take on the contest, the British love a cup of tea.. poem captures the beauty and tranquillity associated with herbal tea, using rich imagery and sensory details to convey the soothing and uplifting experience. The infusion of cultural references adds layers of meaning, making the act of sipping tea a journey of both inner and outer exploration.. Best of luck..

Ah dr sotto, now i want a cup of jasmine tea, how beautifully you’ve written this using words that go so well with the theme in an eloquent manner. I especially love the lines “ Chamomile elixir elevates mood, Innermost wassail dreams. “ so soothing and so uplifting how you’ve written that really! “ These leaves warm our hearts Drinking it on a cold night is a thrill,“ love that! I can imagine how much you enjoy a cup of tea on a cold night. We as maldivians, we do too love our tea. BOL!

Oh, that soothing delight! Lovely ode to tea, my friend. Ethereal beam of brightness finds its way Into every steeping cup, Fetching a warm grin with each sip--I know that feeling. Well said!
