Misconception.

I came into this world

already labeled

freshly plucked

from between limbs,

a bit on the slim side

 

of course

and still attached

 

by a cord.


Like others all around me

I was cradled

 

in a rectangle,

and hand selected

by someone who needed me

to make their life sweeter.


They squeezed me tenderly,

cupped me in their hands,

and then held me to their lips,

with a lovely sigh.


I guess I truly was

their cup of tea.

    You're amazing. I have no idea how you come up with these things...or how your mind works. I'd be interested to find out how Artis works.

    You get on my good side when
    you write about tea. Ohh goodness.
    I really liked it though.

    I could never write as well
    as you, unless I practiced nonstop
    for like months.

    I can't pick out a favorite part
    because it's all so perfectly together.

    Good job!
