The teapot whistles for her attention,
Unhurried she takes it from the fire,
Eyes can’t help but look in her direction,
Always moving seems she’ll never tire.
Fluid motions with a casual grace,
Confidence in the arrangements she’s took
Each small step so delicate does she place,
Rehearsed and done precisely by the book,
Returning smoothly glides across the floor,
Water mixing with oriental tea,
As if in slow motion sitting once more,
Painted for my eyes her beauty to see.
Steam rises and a melody begins,
Brewing completed as her singing ends.

What a wonderful visual you've painted here Professor ... I could picture each step and movement, beautifully done!

Best wishes,

Excellent work, Gloom. It was as if I were sitting there watching from far. Very nicely written.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Thank you, Lone Wolf
You give me a wonderful compliment,
The poet should make the reader feel part of the poem.
