The teapot,
Ceramic steeper blue,
Holds tea got,
Spoonfuls number two.

Tea kettle
Copper boiler red,
Fine metal
Steamer steeper feed.

I pour through strainer,
Filling cup to halfway up,
Let to steep the remainder,
Growing deeper and richer
In flavor in the next cup.

Too warm to drink
I wait, ponder and think
Till it’s cooled a bit
Ready to sip.

Gloom - Nothing like a fresh spot of tea! Well done. Maybe you better take some to Seymours post, as my sister Enchantress is late with her offering of tea! lol. Enjoyed. Chris

I drink my tea iced, but I like the feel of this poem. Nicely done.
