Our dreams are echoes:

Mere subconscious yodelling

On faraway hills.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Swallows and Amazons - a little known fact; Arthur Ransome got the title for his famous children's adventure series after finishing a cuppa and taking a delivery from a courier. Probably. ☕

The words 'Love' and 'Hate'

Come from the same alphabet:

Letters choose wisely.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Where the infinite possibilities of the imagination meet the finite dimensions of your teacup. ☕

Time is a garden:

And we are the hardiest

Of perennials.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Imagination's universal translator. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

From expectation to satisfaction in just one sip. ☕

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?"

When I was a kid 

Alphabetti spaghetti

Counted as homework

HAIKU

I smile at my wife,

At the confetti blossom,

And us oldyweds.
