Serenity in a Cup

Tea for the Soul

The whistling kettle calls to me.

Telling me it's time for tea

I grab my Tinkerbell mug off the shelf

As I try to decide what to have for myself

What flavor of brew should I steep into my cup?

Lemony and citrusy?

Minty and refreshing?

Earthy and nutty?

Fruity and floral?

Settling with vanilla spice,

A steamy waterfall

A hint of honey

To sweeten the pot

The sweet aroma rose up

Smelling sugary and sweet.

Cupping the potion

Raising it to my lips

Taking small sips

I felt the warmth

Course through my veins.

Washing away the stress

Replacing it with bliss

Like my mind is at a spa

Bathing in a hot spring.

For a moment, time froze.

The world stands still.

Embracing the peace

Brought by a cup of tea.

    I loved everything about your poem. Through your writing, you painted the Tinkerbell tea cup in your mind and filled it with tea from the whistling kettle, which brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the world. The aroma of the tea, infused with vanilla spice and honey, fills the cup, allowing the savor of the tea to fill the mind and bring a sense of calm. Well done!!!

    It's neat how reading a good description of a cup of tea makes me feel like I've just had tea. ☕️

  • Actually a cup of tea is for mental health.
