Tea-Inspired Poetry

I’ve been posting my thoughts here for many years so by now it’s safe to say you know a bit about me. It’s true that I LOVE tea (I simply can not live without it!). One day, I became tea-inspired. I steeped myself in thought and came up with a mixed “tea” bag that I’m sharing with you today! Do you take your poetry with cream and sugar?

  1. Love this!

    My mom Sydell Rosenberg’s tea poem:

    airless summer days
    iridesce the silver throat
    of my tea kettle

    1. Hi Amy, Thank you so much for sharing your mother’s lovely tea poem. She had a tremendous talent! “H is for Haiku” is one of my favorite poetry books for kids!

  2. We could so have tea together except for the miles between! I love tea! These are wonderful tea poems. I do not have any tea poetry, but that’s a great theme to consider!
