You Can'T Hurry Taste

Dragon tea with just the right amount of spice 
sipped slowly by the sifting of the hourglass  
each flavor is a  burst on my tongue, how nice 
to be able to enjoy this brew of muted brass 

With a glass mug the color of emerald gleam 
I can easily sit and day dream all day 
giving my frazzled nerves a break I redeem  
myself, as I drink leisurely at bay   

Its Chai with a tidy bite of cinnamon and clove 
as I sample at turtle pace I enjoy every bit    
of this awesome refreshment, love, love, love 
it, its my time out from the world as I know it

no greater pleasure than an afternoon of poetry 
and a great cup of tea that you just can't hurry.

I have a poem up my sleeve. Your title would describe it well, but of course I will not use it. My sister drinks hibiscus tea. I prefer just one cup in the morning. A sonnet that entices one to write. Just what I need these days. Blessings
