A cup of Tea

James Taylor's music and a cup of tea match perfectly.

Music coming from another room
James Taylor remembering Carolina
I remember you

My flat smells like peppermint
I hear voices in my tea
whispering "you've got a friend in me"

Today's a good day and "I won't make it any other way"
I am grateful for the cup of tea in my hand
A sigh of relief

Am a tea drinker, myself--and James Taylor's music is more than okay with me.
Much appreciate the cleverly created poetic relaxant.
Now, gonna go brew myself the heartiest cup of tea allowed by law.

some folk think I am quaint.. little do they realise this pussycat is a hard man in disguise :)

[Lale]

Although it's nobody's business.. but.. you know, special people are hard to forget.
By the way, It's the first time I hear the word "quaint." Nice one.

[Neville]

Ha.. tis an old world and I have been around for a very long time :)

God knows how many cool terms I'm missing haha

What a perfect combination Lale. I am liking your choice in music. Assuming it is peppermint tea you are drinking? It must be that wafting through the air. Now you must put your feet up and relax :))

Yes, it is. Peppermint is definitely a summer flavour. It was a pleasant moment making and drinking tea while listening to James Taylor. I thought about sharing it. Thank you dear for always leaving me lovely reviews.

[Chris Shaw]

You are more than welcome. I like peppermint tea too :)

Lovely brevity poems and especially this ones with James Taylor music and a hot cup of tea to calm the soul. Thanks for visiting me at the Cafe!

[Lale]

I'm glad you liked it. I had this urge of writing about today's cup of tea. Thank you for reading Beccy. Looking forward to reading your work.

[Betty Hermelee]

You’re welcome! It’s Betty

[Lale]

Oh my god, I'm so sorry for the typo. Nice to meet you, Betty.

"close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's alright. I don't need no love songs, and I can't sing the blues anymore....but I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone"

Love the poem and how you wrote around his lyrics...saw him in 2003...he was fabulous and still sounded exactly as he did in the early seventies.

I'm not a tea drinker, but am a rabid James fan...and a rabid fan of this write of yours.
Happy Tea.

Thank you for sharing this memory. I've never seen him live, but I really enjoy his tenor voice with a cup of tea. Thank you for reading. It's always a delight reading your reviews.
