Tea Party A demitasse of commiseration perched expectantly on saucer translucently brittle all attentiveness and solicitude dainty teacakes of devotion resting on china, delicately flowered sympathy rolled in powdered sugar tender-warmed and encouraging crust-less white triangles of woe-telling sandwich the thinly sliced interest gossip nibbled hungrily gauche and glaring lemon-delicate crumbs of virtue sprinkle the table-clothed surface vestiges of shared secrets revealed and digested lacy napkin folded neatly beside the plate signals a end to confidences @ 1999 PHC |

Pat, I missed this  . This is the type of poetry I find hard to comment about in detail. All I can say is that I liked it, I understood it, it has an authentic genteel air about it of the sort you find in a pretentious English country house hotel afternoon tea lounge. Have you been there?Also I was glad to be caught out by the word "demitasse" ... I had to resort to Websters. Thank you smile  .Philip |

Aaaah! This one is priceless. I felt as if I was there myself, nibbling the r e a l cookies, gingerly drinking the r a r e oriental tea. Being a gentleman, though, I excused myself when the sugarless cookies were presented. I must admit I did read the poem to the end, however, to feed my male imagination. Willem |
