The Shelley Tea Set
Tea Party: Wonderland Poetry Prompt Day 29
A
Tea
Party!
Get dolled up…
Come along and meet
The lov’ly ladies in our street.
*
So,
lay
a lace
tablecloth
topped with silverware…
Satin cushions on every chair.
*
Cream
cakes
freshly
baked biscuits
eagerly await
Fine bone china, Shelley Tea Sets.
*
My
Mum’s
Sweet Treat
for ladies
in our neighbourhood
Smiles, chatter and food, ‘Oh, so good!’
*
Inspired by morning tea parties thrown by my mother, for the ladies in our neighbourhood.

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.

Sounds so lovely! Still haven't attempted a Fibonacci, but yours is inspiring me to consider it!
You have introduced me to another form of poetry, Angie, and that means I have to try it. I like it, it is different. 💗
I love the Fibonacci poem, these are so lovely and nostalgic.
I wish ladies in this day and age still did this! And forget about passing on beautiful china to the younger generations....they laugh. Breaks my heart. Such a sweet homage to your mom :)
This tea party setup sounds lovely. It makes me think of the ones my mom used to host. The idea of laying out a lace tablecloth and using fine bone china is great. It must've been a wonderful sight. Do you think it's important to keep these kinds of traditions alive? And what are some other things that could make a tea party extra special?
I love this tea party imagery in this poem
I love this! You paint such a picture.
Lovely work!
