FIRST CUP OF TEA

"Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for tea."

John Donne's first draft.  ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Tea for two

Is my only prayer

Slurping from

The Common Book Of Share. ☕☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Your happiness is due to be delivered within the first sip; you can track your happiness here - ☕ - just scan the Ooh Ahh code.

HAIKU

On the Sands of Time

We paddle in the rock pools

Of warm memories.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

It's not the first jigsaw piece of the day; it's more the picture on the box. ☕

HAIKU

We are all authors

Scribbling in life's storybook

With no editor.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Even if this was Godot, I'd wait for it. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

the teabag's squished and squashed and mashed

'tween teacup and 'tween spoon,

the teapot's hopes are tossed and dashed,

its song now out of tune.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Accuracy in a world of errors. ☕

HAIKU

At the convention 

For haikus, three new poets

Walk into a bard.
