T is for Tea


Hello readers, Today is a simple day. Here is one poem that may or may not start with the letter T:

Tea or Coffee

We are from a culture
that loves both

Every household needs it
they may ask for one or the other
but at the end, you'll get both

Ever girl needs to know
how to make both
it's a test to who will love you
or love you more

a test to who is lucky to have you
unless that girl is lucky
finding a guy that can do it.

I really need to find a guy who will know how to make it for himself :(
Crystal Collier said…
Neither for me of my family, thanks. We like water in our house. Oh, and apple cider. (American cider.) Am I mean mommy that my kids only drink water or milk?

@Crystal, you're not mean, you're good. This tea/coffee thing is a cultural thing.
I married a guy who is happy to make me coffee every time I want one. I'm so lucky. :-) (Oh, he brews tea, too.)

In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming.

Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
