Poetry Teatime: A Tea Poem
Enjoy this poem with your Tuesday Teatime:
Afternoon Tea
by Marianna Jo Arolin
My copper kettle
whistles merrily
and signals that
it is time for tea.
The fine china cups
are filled with the brew.
There’s lemon and sugar
and sweet cream, too.
But, best of all
there’s friendship, between you and me.
As we lovingly share
our afternoon tea.
