Patio Tea
Ceramic pots
cradle tea leaves
and cup hot water
in their round bellies.
Rattan chairs
cradle friends
and cup woven stories
between their open arms.

Lovely images. Nothing like sharing a cuppa! Yesterday I was having tea with my son and wishing for a nice gluten free treat. Suddenly we heard a thump on the porch. The mailman delivered a box that had a big basket of gluten free food - sent from my brother. JOY!
That makes me want to be there!
Another cup, please. :)
Yes, I to want to join in, I'll bring the biscuits.
I agree, beautiful images.
A very cozy poem! Love it!
Lifting my tea to you sweet ladies!
I do love this - it's fantastic! And I've given you an award (see my blog for details) :)
