Notes About The Poem

3rd in Bitesize No. 115 (Sponsor: Line Gauthier)

Judged: June 19th, 2025

Tea Time

Look, London ladies, buff your speech
Mind your soiled plantation fingers
Nary a trace of our old worlds
Occupy their halls royally
Porcelain cups poised on pinkies

Great wording, Trina! There is both beauty and ugliness in these affairs of long ago.
