Teacup Poems - Poems about Teacup

still life
i keep a teacup with a cracked rim— it doesn’t hold warmth for long but i drink from it anyway. the hallway light flickers like it’s unsure if it wants to stay on. some nights, i understand. there’s a coat in the closet that no one wears, but i leave it hanging. the walls don’t echo when i speak softly. so i don’t. not anymore. i fold myself into the quiet corners...

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. You should know war is...

A significantly Pointless Teacup
My late mother got it from a thrift shop 40 years ago - a fine China teacup and saucer, it might be worth something, you never know with fine China teacups. It could be an antique or just some cheap copy of an actual fine China teacup. There's only one cup and saucer so, what the heck. I've no idea why it either...

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 wasted his storm! ______________________ Tongue-in-cheek | 12.01.2016 | humour ...

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....

Broken Teacup
within a teacup of time the smooth ripples of a shallow pond break apart some fright or tremor has disturbed the movement of the water a gloom hangs upon a heavier air the skimming swallows have darted away the willow trees rattle did time blink perhaps eyes mistook a sparrow for a vulture the pond shivers then the dark moment forgets itself once more the willows long green tendrils gently brush the face of the water...

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 thoughts danced swiftly, like ripples in a pond, Believing the teacup...

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 knife, it slices through my heart when I look up...

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....
