delicate whimsy was her game

Wakeful Dream

icy fog blurs the ships,

            back to a dream so warm

      he slips ...

      lips on 

             steaming teacup, early sun

                   wakes the rooster up !

Leaves On the Ground

November in a teacup
Looking up at your face
Our set of changes 
Our own autumn 
Pizzicato motion feels
Pleasure inside my sound
When Love lies above me 
Leaves on the ground

Premium Member CRACKED TEACUP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fragile porcelain, once steaming with jasmine dreams~ now sits cold, chipped edge catching morning light like a confession no one hears.
Form: Tanka

A Stranger

There in a teacup a stranger:
an idea to be entertained,
an alien to understand 
from a far away plantation.
Picked for me at a distant moment,
a sign in my cup to respect
the one who has sent refreshment.

Premium Member The Teacup Race

Three mice in a teacup, head toward the finish line.
If they do not get the cup, they will certainly whine.
I watch them carefully, wondering about any infraction.
They win the race, and cheer their blatant satisfaction.

The Empty Apartment 11

A stained teacup sits sadly in the sink
Ashes of a past fire grey the hearth
An unread newspaper, old man's spectacles
A packet of mints lay on the scratched surface
Of a beeswaxed table
Waiting for Thomas Ryan to return

                    TANTALIZING TEA.
                    THROAT THIRSTS FOR AUTONOMY.
                    TEARS, ETERNALLY.

Premium Member Wake Up Or Be Granted a Wish

Have you seen the boy in the teacup floating by?
Was I still dreaming? My body gave an enormous sigh.
You cannot miss him, he is riding the top of a trumpet fish.
I wondered if I was going to wake up or would I be granted a wish?
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member You Wish

I looked up from my dainty teacup with pink roses and gold trim
I think it was Cuba Gooding; I am pretty sure it was him.
Hey! I said to my husband, who was devouring his fish.
Is that who I think it is? He looked and said “you wish”.

Premium Member Where Is the Teacup Planet

Where is teacup planet? I asked, interested in it of course.
An alternative sky galaxy, in a cosmos shaped like a horse.
What kind of things are there? I asked the traveler, Morse.
Things I do not dare talk about, they are secret of course.

Premium Member What if it rains

Whoopsie is a topsy turvy murvy lurvy swervy kind of gal
I stopped by her teacup house yesterday because I am her pal
What if it rains? I asked her, what do you do then, my friend?
It never rains in the kitchen she said and curtsied with a bend.

Premium Member FRACTURES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The cracked teacup holds no ghosts tonight~ just lukewarm chamomile. I pour it out slowly, watch steam fade like old arguments. Even porcelain learns how to forgive its own fractures.

Premium Member She Should Have Dressed Up

Dotty arrived at the party dressed as a giant teacup
Some laughed at her, for it was formal, she should have dressed up
She was instantly engaged in conversation with Old Mrs Hupp
Who switched place cards, so she could sit by the friendly giant teacup
