Best Teapot Poems

I’m a little teapot*
Of that there is no doubt
I need my first fix in the morning
Or I will scream and shout!

The kettle whistles to let me know
It’s time to make my tea
The tea bag is waiting in my cup
There is always plenty of tea for...

The tempest in a teapot,
sits there as it may,
though it bothers none,
that is bothersome,
though bother surely begot.

The tempest in a teapot,
sits there and bestilled,
control the free will,
is absolute nil,
but left alone it was naught.

A cluster of clucking hens,
tempts teapot defends,
foxes from their dens,
rounds bout like...

This teapot, chipped and faded,
brings memories so dear,
of friendships made and secrets shared,
while sipping its fine brew.
This teapot chipped and faded.

Teapot






Hymns a sweet morning will sing,
As teapot pours freshness,
In bowl of great antiquity,
To start the day with zing,
Hymns a sweet morning will sing.

I loved you once, Jenny Teapot,
Until that love turned sour.
You poured the finest Yorkshire Tea,
On the hour, every hour.
But the love we had, went off the boil,
In a most disappointing way.
Betrayed by your affections,
For Darjeeling, Assam and Earl Grey....

Grandfathers  deep  English  voice joined  hers in prayers
 Apple  trees shimmering in the sunlight  beside the water
Crumpled apricot roses tumbled above the interlaced arch
The mistress of the house wore a necklace of black pearls
Attends every afternoon for tiny cakes...

the water in the teapot is boiling &
the top is rattling---
as the hot steam begins to bubble out
the piercing scream is coming---
14+ million out of work
no universal health insurance
foreclosures upon foreclosures
(just in time for the “holiday season”) &
the 
99%
have
had
it---
while the mainstream media does its best

I have a teapot from many years ago
From where I grew up, taken by the under toe
That stole me, from the days that I had there
Where I could be free and play everywhere

I also have the baby spoon from the early days
When later devilish wind...

I bought a brand-new teapot
And it has a whistling spout.
It informs me that it’s ready
As the steam comes pouring out.

When the whistle comes in handy
Is if I am out of sight
And forget the water’s boiling
Which, of course, you know I might.

It’s a nifty little feature
When...

A loving caress
kissing as the teapot steeps

I say there is a China teapot 
Revolving about the sun
Twixt earth n mars 

It’s much too small to see 
By telescope or all our skills
But I say it is there

I say you can’t disprove it
You may call me mad
Talking a nonsense

But if it were...

Was wide awake at 3am 
Thinking about you
I hope your ears weren't ringing
Then you'd have been up too
I wanted to write a word or nine 
To give to you a lift
In substance and in spirit
A second Christmas gift

To tell you that you're special 
To tell...

I had never seen such a marvelous pot.
It made me happy, and this is saying a lot.
I had been in the dumps in this doggy palace.
But here is this beauty including dear Alice.

The rabbit is there, and the Cheshire Cat.
I am starting at this teapot,...

The Devil’s Teapot
—a witches brew

Remembrance poured
  in sorrows true

The Devil’s Teapot
  bone china cracked

New leaks a bane
  in virtue lacks

The Devil’s Teapot
  it fills once more

With pain now forked
  to stir rancor

The Devil’s Teapot
  whose lid seals tight

To curse...

teapots and teacups,

the aroma of coffee,

and the day's hustle....
