Ten Haiku About Tea
Windswept mountain top –
Clear day ~ A refreshing shock –
Hot tea from the flask.
Bog black breakfast tea –
Condensed milk ~ plenty sugar –
Tank crew brewing up.
Decide on green tea –
The Mother is pointing out ~
Her favourite pot.
Office visitor –
There is much work to be done –
Tea is disarming.
Country ~ slower time …
Arrah, are you making tae?
Metric tons of tae.
Jasmine infusion –
Is not expected ~ Trying –
Conservative Man.
The simplest of things –
to add water to the leaves ~
High Ceremony.
With the Professor –
at elevenses ~ equal –
Best part of the day.
She likes her tea weak ~
I wave the bag by the cup –
Thus proving the point.
You could have a pint…
But tea works near everywhere –
With near everyone.

Thanks Charles, a virtual cup of Pu Er Imperial is poured for you.
Saying that this is clever … sounds insulting, but it really is. I love tea! I love the time one takes to “take tea.” I loved the fact that I am set-up to serve it on all three floors. Last year I made a master bath on the third floor in an unused and ugly room. I have a place all set up for tea, ha, drinks too. I really liked your poem for it was interesting in it’s inclusive manner … now that said I don’t do tea bags ;).
Thanks Raven! A virtual Earl Gray with a slice of lemon has just been prepared for you. Don’t generally do bags myself, but it depends on the contents…
I liked the last one the best…I quit soda and coffee about afive weeks ago and had to turn to tea…still not a convert but trying!

‘But tea works near everywhere –

Thanks! Green is my favourite too. A virtual cup with added cherry blossoms to you.
Tea is great and so are these haiku gems. I like all kinds of the stuff, but the stronger, the better.
Thanks, and agreed! Virtual cup of Irish Breakfast tea for you.
always enjoy a cup of tea, what an interesting discussion on it.
