Poetry Doodle Have some tea with me and sit awhile. I like your hat – it’s pretty. One lump or two? Is that dress new? Was the train trip fast from the City? Let’s sit here amid flowers blooming I love the reds and pinks and blues How time does fly! It floats right by. I haven’t seen you in a year or two. Oh no! Is that rain that touched my face? No, I am sure it is not a tear. My friend is ill. Yes, these are tears I spill. But, your visit brings me cheer. My friend, you came when I needed you The years have simply washed away It’s been so long that you’ve been gone And now it seems as if you never strayed Have more tea with me and sit awhile Let’s let the hours float on by Across the miles you always bring me smiles But it is much nicer to sit side by side --- Alison |

Roniece, The friend is you. No, we have not known each other for years, but it feels like we have. I was just doodling with thoughts and realized that you were there in my mind. Owie |

It would be very comforting to sit with a friend like you and have the experience recorded so beautifully. Ida |

yes...it must be quite wonderful to have 'friends' that match the thoughts expressed in this write [particularly ones that don't simply 'disappear' when one hits divorce, downward socioeconomic mobility; etc. (as if these things might be somehow 'catching')] applause for this 'penning!' |

It is such a treat to enjoy a cup of tea with a friend. It is also a tasty treat to read Poetry Doodle! Enjoyed, ~miscellanea~ |

Alison, I loved this. What a lovely tribute to friendship in general and the specific friendship between you and Roneice! The more I read in PIP, the more I think that poets should rule the world - alongside of perhaps more practical people, lol. - Owl |

She is a beautiful friend. ---------- miscellanea, Thank you for sharing tea with us. You make me smile.

Thank you. xoxoxox A ----------- Yo Robert Thank you kindly, my friend. xoxoxo Alison |

I boiled the water for double strehth tea then added ice to cool and dilute it. Sugar ... out of lemon juice right now ... Leftovers for lunch ... Listening to oldies on the Internet ... Tea with you, in spirit ... So far, far away you are. But I will ever want to have tea with you, in Spirit ... Always, forever, Jaime (to a new and wonderful soul friend) |
