Tea

Steep

You bathe

Soak,

Sleep.

Steep,

Gracefully you'd gift space to me,

Time,

Peace.

Calm yet the kettle teared and howled

A meadow's creak;

Chirps,

Faint squeaks and sounds

Horizon peak,

You see, morning's when I'd adore you most.

Aroma,

I'd transcend

Scent of incense

Reimagined

Rewound again and again.

Steep; Rooibus,

Ginger,

Green

Tea.

As a tea lover I am so digging this. It perfectly pulls the reader into the aroma of a morning cup of tea yet draws deeper suggesting metaphorical significance in perfect unison with a tea centered atmosphere.

The beginning
“Soak,
Sleep.
Steep,”
Does such a great job capturing the reader and then the mid lines expand the poem visually before ending so simply and magically.

I find “Calm yet the kettle teared and howled” as well as “You see, morning's when I'd adore you most” to be really nice lines.

Very much enjoyed reading this!

An excellent poem that involves all the elements of tea and how it makes us feel while drinking it

Ahhh~~~!!! I love tea! I drink it without fail every morning with honey. You did a lovely job and did justice to the all the senses that are evoked with tea drinking. I felt like I could almost hear the kettle, taste, smell, and see this tea---I always envision tea drinking in a cozy chair by the window.
I also like the usage of one worded lines. They draw readers into a slow rhythm and atmosphere and let them ponder and "taste" each word described.

Chryiss, you've shed seven lanterns worth of light. Poetic in your own words. Can't thank you enough. "...slow and rhythm and atmosphere and let them ponder and "taste" each word...". Amazing. Thank you so much!
