brahma tea museum - poetjude

If anyone has any suggestions for the title as well as crit I'd be eternally grateful, perhaps to the point of buying you a lovely cup of tea one day! The museum is actually called "Brahma's Museum of Tea and Coffee" I'd like to use this as I'm sure the judges will want the poem to be readily identifiable as being connected to Southwark (one of the criteria). Also it may clear up the Brahama reference is after Edward Brahma the museum's founder not the Hindu God. The problem with this is putting coffee in the title of a very (to quote Ferg) 'tea-like' poem seems a trifle odd ... thanks jude

That's really lovely, Jude - of course, tea and coffee are quite different and you've brought out the old-world delicacy of ritual, patience and appreciation involved with all things tea.

thanks Neil. I've started using tealeaves and a teapot over the past few weeks & it is so much better than teabags, which are quite a nasty if convenient invention. Maybe I'll call it f**k Tetley Teabags ! jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net
