Hers is green, mine's got Kermit;
Milk and hot water in our cups.
Filled up and spilling over;
Tea bag dripping on the floor.
The balanced walk back to bed;
A fight for space on the nightstand.
The first sip is glorious;
The second can't live up to it.

This is a nice poem about everyday life and having tea. I like that you wrote about this, as it's something everyone can relate to and an unusual topic for a poem (although it was in the contest so that's probably why). If I revised this poem I'd use more poetic devices although maybe its simplicity works to its credit so they'd have to sound natural and fit in.
