That early morning cup of tea

Sip the nectar, savour, drain;
feel it seeping through the brain
– mist dispersing, movement oiling,
focusing for fun and toiling.

Diffusing through to every part,
primed to face a fresh, new start:
stretching limbs, with stifled yawn,
duties of a new day dawn.

Miscellaneous
Humour

Really liked this Rhiannonw, original and well thought out. I'm not a tea drinker, but this would be what i think of my first coffee of the day!

Thank you,Jolono. I think coffee jerks me awake too suddenly, not so gentle as tea, too much of a jolt! But, then, no, I am not a coffee drinker on the whole anyway. Glad you enjoyed the verse and the coffee! Rhiannon

I love a nice cuppa...Earl Grey, preferably. Really enjoyed your poem, Rhiannon, and am just about to put the kettle on because of it, which can't be bad;-) Tina

Loved the short poem. I drink tea all the time, and your description of it was fantastic. My only critique would be that 'focussing', at least in my country, is spelled 'focusing'. But I know this site is based in the UK, and spelling is slightly different there. So if it is a word in the UK I apologize. Anyway, great poem, and that's coming from someone who does not read much poetry. I've got a plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it! -Edmund Blackadder, Blackadder II

Glad you enjoyed the verse! And you are right, it should be focusing here in UK too – I've just checked with my husband! Thanks, I will edit it now. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon

Just enjoying my first cup of coffee 6:50 a.m. - but after breakfast I don't drink any more coffee. Tea I have never liked, except sweetened when I am ill.

Each to their taste! I drink very little coffee and then very weak, but tea is weak also, but plenty of it. I was told to drink a lot of water if possible after a procedure yesterday, and found I quite enjoyed it when I had to, so must do so more. Rhiannon
