Romancing a Kettle of Tea

Sitting in a country garden with Hollyhocks and vintage Roses, My lover and I romance a Kettle of Tea...

China cups with rosebuds...

Tea brewed with tenderness

lemon and honey sweetness...

 

Charm of a portrait painted...

Beautiful lady with auburn hair

Enchanting romance in the air...

 

Scented candles burning...

Lovers dance across the floor

Expressions of Je t'adore...

 

Timeless rhapsodies persuade...

Soothing embraces of amour

Biscuits with orange marmalade...

 

Breezes from another world...

Begin to whisper words of desire

A cup of tea and pleasant reverie...

"Romancing a Kettle of Tea"
Patricia Wedel,
Between the "rosebuds, tea brewed with tenderness, lemon and honey sweetness"I wanted to rejoice in this lovely morning breakfast with a familiar and special someone. "Biscuits with orange marmalade... I found this line to be symbolic and a lead in to romance beautiful. Also "Breezes from another world..."
It flows, it rhythms.
Blessings, and I hope you may enjoy more of these moments.
Kathy

I searched what Je t'dore meant. Then I wasn't distracted by it. Then read it again and enjoyed how your unique structure let your love flow through it. I enjoy rhyming poetry.

When I read your poems it makes me believe that the art of Romance is not lost.

What another delicate soft write romantic of tea. Lovely imagery I could almost smell the fragrance. I love that lapsang souchong tea, a smoky black china tea! A lovely write Pat. Enjoy your tea!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew, your comment is a lovely gift
now that autumn is in the air... It makes me think
of the song... "A Nightingale sang in Berkley Square".
I must try the smokey black China tea that you mentioned.
Enjoy your autumn with enchanting colors of
gold and Crimson. truly, Pat

Your writing is soft and wispy. I like it very much. Valentine

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Valentine... Thank you for reviewing
one of my older poems. Glad you feel it is wispy.
You made my day. Hope your day is full of sweet surprises.

you changed the rhyme scheme in the 4th verse and stretched the rhyming in the closing line ..the flow is not interrupted and i found that intellectually intriguing .. the very best tea comes from a conscientiously ended kettle ;) not quite the seriousness of the Japanese Tea Ceremony but the reverence of the brew ... in the first line i kept wanting to read rose hips .. which took me back to the 60's in Taos, NM ..a time of wonderment, love peace and flowers and ....rose hips tea ;)
both my mom and my g-ma had just those painted china cups .. so delicate .. the only thing i do not like about this poem is that i missed the party Alice! :)

I realize I had not thanked a few poets for their
review a year or two ago. I do appreciate your

[emmajoy]

This is how life and emotion should be, this is how poetry should make a reader feel: calm, happy and -swept into another time and place. Your words could so easily become a beautiful painting!

We need to make more time for the quiet romance of
sipping tea. truly, Pat
