HAIKU

Time chaperones us

On its neverending path:

We, the dust it leaves.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Teaquality for all! ☕✊

HAIKU

Fine rain strains to fall

It seems to just hang around 

Unsure of its way.

HAIKU

Mum and Alzheimer's:

Today it's her eightieth,

And love won't forget. 🎂

FIRST CUP OF TEA

All the muse that's fit to drink. ☕

HAIKU

Was I destined to

Make cheese from sheep and goats milk:

A feta-ccompli?

(I'll fetch my coat and show myself out)

FIRST CUP OF TEA

And they all sipped happily ever after. ☕

HAIKU

Time in glass bottles

Drinking our youth, and taking

Back the empty years.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Those tannin stains on that old mug you keep for sentimental reasons - they are the memory of tea made manifest. ☕

HAIKU

I wake from a dream

Where I wake from a dream where

I wake from a dream.
