The phone rang...
for three times before it died.
I slowly moved
my fingers along the chord;
and laid my chin
slightly on the cloth.
For a moment
all things seemed to be asleep,
and the smell
of a cup was so good
that I tasted a spoonful
of tea to my mouth...
only to find it's bitter.
A drop of tea
fell onto the cloth;
what has poured out
couldn't be held back.
Softly touched
the chord again;
my fingers danced on the phone.
A voice faded out
then it was a beep;
I walked away without a word.

//Yesterday I picked on a rose, now I pick on the phone and the tea as the objects I wrote about. So, what do you think of my poem?

~The first two cup of tea is to throw away; what remains is the best of all.
~Blessed are those who find ordinary things extraordinary.

what do i think.
hmmmm.
there are so MANY things i could say about this poem,
but chief among them would have to be great imagery. you captured exactly the bitterness of the tea, and the texture of the cord. like it.
more please!

A lot of depth here, my friend, needs a little clarification at one or two points but well written.

Enjoyed it.
