HAIKU

Cold conspiring clouds

Leave a sheen upon the path

In which the light plays.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Time for my daily metaphysical workout. ☕

HAIKU

Two minutes ago

This haiku didn't exist

And now it has passed.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I'm no motorcyclist and I don't know too much about motorsport but for some reason I've always wanted to enter the Isle of Man Tea Tea race.

I wonder if I'd spill any? ☕☕🏍️🤔

HAIKU

There is a second 

Between the tick and the tock:

Life is at home here.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

If only Marie Antoinette had said, "Let them drink tea" - I don't think the French would have had a revolution. 

C'est la ̶v̶i̶e̶ tea. ☕🇫🇷🤔

HAIKU

The cloud's lying low

As if it is leaning in

To hear our secrets.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I take a break from pondering and for a short while I switch to musing. ☕

HAIKU

A dream of haiku 

Where language is limited

By eternity.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Brobdingnagian pleasure from a Lilliputian cup. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

An anchor for the choppy waters of the modern world. ☕

HAIKU

Think about a day:

A mayfly will live a life

In just one tree's sneeze

FIRST CUP OF TEA

In an infinite universe there are infinite possibilities - therefore somewhere in the infinite void there is a first cup of tea writing about me. ☕✍️

HAIKU

Trying to recall

The sound of my granddad's voice:

Only his laugh lasts.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"One small sip for man, one giant sip for mankind." Tea-lover Neil Armstrong was going to use these first words on the moon but he'd forgotten to pack the teabags. ☕

HAIKU

Hope in a new day:

Every possibility 

Will rise with the sun.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

The gentrification of imagination. ☕

HAIKU

In this world of doubt,

Certainty is death, taxes,

And Monday morning.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Decaffeinated tea - because resting in your favourite armchair whilst sipping your favourite drink can be too much for some people. ☕

HAIKU

Sunday ticks and yawns 

And if it can remember - 

It will also tock.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"I drink tea, therefore I am." - René Teacartes. ☕

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. ☕
