FIRST CUP OF TEA

Rest awhile & take some time

To drink this brew & then unwind

For tea is not just any drink

It makes us ponder, stop, and think.

 

"Do people still wash their front steps?"

"And how do porcupines have sex?"

"Why is Pluto not a planet?"

"And where the hell's the Isle of Thanet?"

HAIKU

When I was a kid 

Alphabetti spaghetti

Counted as homework

HAIKU

I smile at my wife,

At the confetti blossom,

And us oldyweds.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Never Knowingly Undersupped. ☕

HAIKU

Echo meets her fate

When Narcissus rejects her:

Repeat after me.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I like to think that the slight tannin stain on my old chipped mug is where the mug itself stores its own fond memories of tea. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Sipping is fun but life demands the occasional slurp. ☕

HAIKU

Time's own dividers:

A universal flat-pack

With no instructions.

HAIKU

Language is broad strides:

Haiku's are the tiny feet

Of perfectionists.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I thank the woman who picked the leaf,

the farmer who milked the cow,

the potter who made my old, chipped mug,

and the present for just being now. ☕
