A Cup of Tea – Sonnet

What’s so special about a cup of tea?

Some hot water, dried tea leaves, and honey

Let me just tell you what it means to me.

Tea is for all days, cloudy and sunny.

 

It cleanses my palate in between meals.

Keeps me company when I am alone.

Tea nourishes, rejuvenates and heals.

I love my tea. It is a fact well known.

 

 

When I am fine, and all is well with mine.

My old kettle sings twice during the day.

When life gets tough and Messy, it’s a sign.

The kettle keeps on singing, come what may.

 

It cures all ills and brings comfort and joy.

Tastes good with all milks; dairy, almond, soy.

 

– Sulekha
