HAIKU

The heatwave has passed

And the loudest cheers come from

The tanning salons.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Relish every sip

Embellish every morning

Save each and every drip

Increase our global warming. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

First cup of tea: Chapter 1. "It was the best of times, it was the best of times..."

The original first line draft of Dickens, A Tale Of Two Cities, written while drinking tea. ☕

HAIKU

The heatwave pauses,

But only to catch its breath

For a single day.

HAIKU

The sun's morning smile

Spreads into a tightened grin

Replete with menace.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The heatwave that lasts all year. ☕

HAIKU

Today's short story

Is of weightless summer days

That forever shine.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The oil refinery for the industrial revolution of the soul. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Lucid steaming. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for tea."

John Donne's first draft.  ☕
