Poem 2-1 e3 "Tea and Thee" ...pending further editorial commentary...

never sell out your integrity... ah! only a change to the title so far...

green and orange and red pass by

along another relentless drive

to reach the solace of your haven

to again not notice that been given

yew and juniper, cypress and spruce

relentless blowing freezing the root

which blood of water flows through speaks

of pouring its efforts into the leaves

to warm the bones and blood of thee

through another infusion of tea.

I enjoyed reading this. Read it a few times outloud, the flow is perfect and I felt the journey past the trees ablaze in their autumn finery, the chill in the air and the warmth of the person at the destination and of course the tea :)

Not sure about the line 'to again not notice that been given' I think I get what you are trying to say but I'm not sure it actually makes sense. I would suggest you give the poem a title. A good title is a bonus line to the poem and draws the reader to it.
