Best Teacup Poems


The Teacup
He brought it back from France
After the second world war
It just sits there on the shelf
She doesn't use it anymore

Covered in yellow flowers
From it's handle to its rim
White from top to bottom
With a gold metalic trim

She guards it with her life
Since her husband passed away
The...

Like a Broken Teacup
Sitting on the shelf like a broken teacup
I go on despite these difficult moments
I run into myself with Irish green eyes and permanent tear stained cheeks
I've endured the immensity of agony
I’ve turned down all those so-called hot lovers sulking in this harsh yellow land
I wrestle...

My Grandmother's Teacup
My grandmother's teacup
was a coffee mug
And the tea steeped inside it
was used to kill bugs
But grandma did sip 
tough bird that she was
with no honey to sweeten the taste

She worked hard all day
and into the night
Then sat and sipped tea
by bee candlelight
I'd beg for a...

Storm In a Teacup
Silence does a reconnaissance around the room 
betraying not my artillery of thoughts
that acknowledge the elephant in the room 
so starts the ceremony that seeks to save soldiers

body language begins to breakdown barriers 
as actions march in motion anticipating
the ritual of tea that takes centre...

A Storm In a Teacup
The broken teacup sits sadly on the garden table
        Wearing tarnished stains and hardened sugar decorating
        the sides
        There's a bracken coloured moss that's...

Two Frogs In a Teacup
In a teacup's embrace, a tale we shall unfold,
Of two colorful frogs, with stories to behold.
One painted blue, the other a purple hue,
Their minds intertwined, in a world askew.

The blue frog whispered, "We're tea thieves, you see!
Stealing each drop, a wild heist to set free!"
His...

FLOWERED TEACUP IN SPRING
FLOWERED TEACUP IN SPRING


My heart lies vacant
             to vulnerability, voiding into
                   a warm womb

The Teacup Kittens
Three kittens sitting in a teacup
On top of my dining room table
All squished together
Looking as innocent as can be

Their eyes are as blue as the ocean
And open as wide as can be

They're curious as can be
And very, very adventurous

It's such a sight to see kittens...

Premium Member My little teacup
I found my little teacup I hold as a memory 
My little new cup its going to be full of fresh cream with tea
A little biscuit maybe
A little sip I will take 
So, pleasing as one can see
My little red tea cup 
I’ve had for...

Like a storm in a teacup
      Like a storm in a teacup, You turned nothing 
      into something blown up, from a small thing.
       Everywhere's your ground to pick up a fight.

A storm wasted in a teacup
A man all for function, not form, 
Went to get done a nose-based norm, 
The doc to his job rose 
And fixed a doggy nose 
That breathed full and felt nicely warm. 
Yet, mad with his big mouth,
He cursed it and looked south,
In teacup was...

Premium Member A Prissy Teacup
You give me a smile that only comes from you
I smirk in my dreams, understanding it fully
and what it means to us, my body and me

upon awakening I realize it had been six years
since I have seen that look….

loneliness has become my companion
like a carving...
