An Ode to High Tea: A Culinary Journey in Three Acts
List Poem About High English Tea
an exquisite indulgence
wanting taste buds
ready to embrace
a performances of
culinary creations
first act
earl grey tea
whispers of this earthy
translucent amber
pouring gracefully into
milky white porcelain cup
dainty and delicate
soaring floral notes
emerging lavender
a steeped
ambrosia of
warmth
dances along
my palate
toasting my
inner depths
second act
hungry umber orbs
captivated by
delectable delicacies
cucumbers laying with cream cheese
smoke salmon sprinkled with grassy green dill
creamy egg salad sprayed with chives
so many savory sensations
which one to try?
holt!
third act
desserts piled high
have arrived
velvety chocolate eclairs
lemon intertwined with raspberry squares
fruit tarts of elegantly layered pears
pastel macaroons in pairs
soft scones
blueberry
cheese
chocolate chips
cranberry-orange
sweetest of the highest premiere
tempt my adventurous appetite
tis time to spread a thick blanket
of rich and airy
clotted cream
on those
moist
flaky scones
buttery scents
fly upwards
enveloping my
flavor petals
oh how
divine
this
high English tea
is,
don’t
you agree?

This is quite the English tea party.
This is beautifully written. Definitely increased my appetite and now I am going snack hunting. 😊
I'm sooooo hungry right now, lol! I devoured this poem!
Beautiful images you created here with your words and now I’m very hungry! 😋
Personally, I prefer the Breakfast teas along with Oolong & Darjeeling. But my wife is right there with you, Daphne. Earl Grey is by far her favorite, followed as of recently by Constant Comment (what's up with that?).
Daphsam your writing style is very unique, you explain even a simple thing in an excellent way,,,,
