Everything Stops For Tea
For Ellie Hoovs Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 29
Introduction
I wanted to try a new poetic form, and this challenge has allowed me to do this, but the sestina is too much for this, so I will give you an ekphrastic limerick, but I will write a sestina this weekend. I have something that I can apply the form to.
This is the challenge if you want to investigate:
The music is "Everything Stops For Tea" by Long John Baldry, written by Al Goodhart, Al Hoffman, and Maurice Sigler for the 1935 musical film Come Out of the Pantry.

Thank You So Much For Inviting Me
You Are Truly Mad, That I Can See
But Your Teacups And Teapot Are Great
I'm Now At Your Table And Can't Wait
To Now Stop For Your Wonderful Tea

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

My friend from England via New Zealand says "why you have as much, if not more tea than I do!" I don't know how others surf through 6days without it
Everything has to stop for something, though there are those of us who stop for anything.
Hehehehe I wanna join for tea as well. Loved your poem!
