Tahera Mannan Poet Free verse

The Miracle of Green Tea

Fresh virgin leaves
Green as the dewy grass
Hiding a golden miracle
As it meets warm water
Soothing to the core
As it uncurls and spreads
A ray of morning light
In every sip
A little sweet
And then a bit bitter
Caressing dry lips and throat
Purifying the soul within
The miracle of green tea

Andrea Dietrich March 11, 2013 at 4:26 PM I take it you are a huge fan of drinking green tea. It's very healthful I know. but I just can't seem to get myself into the habit of drinking tea. I try it and then I drop off doing it every time. NICE poem
