Tea Time

Smoke swirls, kettle cries
Tea is poured, and guests arrive
It is quite boring

Tea is hot, mouth burns
Cry out in pain, and eyes turn
How I hate tea~time

My tongue, sore and tight
Mother says to be polite
That I've not been taught

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
