TEA TIME
Humanity's cup
filled
with sepia cloud
filled
with healing kisses
filled with silver pride.
Music of an afternoon voyage
sings a rolling tune
filled
with tropical magic
filled
with infused solace.
Extracted pleasure
filled
with floral bitterness
filled
with sunshine's wisdom.
Champagne of sentiment
filled
with poetry
a swirl of gunpowder
filled
with love n' sympathy.

Nothing wrong with this: gorgeous in fact.
Wouldn't change it 'for all the tea in China' :-)
What a feather in your cap to have an article published.
Your last line is cool, a play on "tea and sympathy". ;-)
and intriguing verse...the mix of gunpowder with tea and sympathy....its quite a contrast...and works nice...
much love...
Yes, I do want to be a Cover Girl-I am still working on it. I used vintage gloves and made a book holding memories of tea. I will share more next week.
I could write many poems on tea-oh, yeah, I already have ;D
Margaret-Thank you! I thought it had that I love coffee, I love tea feel-my writing seems to be childlike lately?! Again thank you so much!
L.Diane-Thank you! I will share I used vintage gloves with tiny yellow embroidered flowers. I was happy with it-it is a game of chance when you submit art! Thank you-you are sweet!
Kerry-Yes, I remember! Thank you-tea does inspire us as it calms our gray matter. Off to make me a cup-I wish you could join me!

BTW, do you know that they blast in with gunpowder in the slate mines. Dynamite and its forces do too much damage to the slate. I learned that in Wales when we visited (went down with a guide) a slate mine there.

Jim-I have seen slate on the shores of my childhood home. I had no idea-you are a wealthy of info!
There is a tea my son loves called Gunpowder Green Tea- :D Thank you so much!
