Peach Green Tea

i once knew a poet

 who titled 

every poem first 

before any other word 

i promptly called his wife 

we were immediately concerned 

only madmen name

 a sound they've never heard 

we said our fill 

he'd patiently listened 

of course 

as we both flummoxed 

and blabbered 

and stumbled over each other 

until he was almost to his third cup 

of peach green tea 

and we both threw our arms up and said, 

"NOW DO YOU SEE?!?" 

to which he responded 

that if we were done 

he'd very much like to finish writing 

we read it later 

and we forgot 

that we ever flummoxed 

or blabbered 

or stumbled over each other 

and the three of us shared cups 

of peach green tea.

Author's Note

It's been a while but I'm in love with a wonderful person and I've had a lot of inspiration because of it so I felt like I should share something here. Enjoy.
