I may not be your cup of tea
but, that's just fine
maybe I'm just too hot?
boiling on your tongue?
or too sweet?
not sweet enough?
perhaps too strong for your taste buds?
too cold?
too weak?
or if instead of milk which you may prefer
I'm full of lemons
you see, I decide my own consistency
not you
so if you don't want me
don't like me
just put me down
and move on to your next mug
because...
whether, I’m wrapped in porcelain or not
I’m happy with me.

Clever use of words in this Teddy. A most fun read
Ah, my dearest sorrenbarret, I've been editing and this one is one I especially enjoyed writing, very British, I found some inspiration and I went with it, I'm so glad you have come back to read my small edit, I suspect I'll be adding more to this. But for now enjoy the taste ๐น
Any time is tea time
Also tequila my friend. I'm challenging you to write one about tequila are you up for it? ๐น
Give me a few days, it would be best written if I had some and won't be going there for a few days
I will wait patiently my dear friend, just trying to brighten up our day but I'm thrilled you have taken the challenge chin, chin until then.... ๐คฃ
A really nice poem of self acceptance, perhaps I needed to reed this! Thanks for sharing this.
We all need to read something like this and we all need to write it too. ๐ We are who makes us no one else. โค๏ธ
You are my cup of tea, sweet Teddy. Great work, just right.
Awe, and you are mine dear sweet Thomas. ๐น
Dear Teddy, this is both a fun and clever write. A fabulous metaphor. Made me smile. Being very English, I love my cuppa tea. (donโt drink coffee). I like the different varieties, can add milk and I donโt mind a slice of lemon now and again either. As to your final line, absolutely right. As long as you are happy with you, thatโs all that matters. S*d, the naysayers๐. Have a beautiful evening my friend. ๐น๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ซ๐
I have had such a fun time writing this one, I guess you should take up the challenge too dearest Cassie, sorrenbarret will write about tequila. โค๏ธ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐งโค๏ธ
Dear Teddy, I am useless at challenges. My muse is lazy and pernickety and she certainly wouldnโt want to write about me. ๐ Have a beautiful Friday ๐น
lol ๐คฃ fair enough ๐น
Fine words Teddy, I drink more tea than anything else, I like Kenya tea in the morning and in the afternoon I drink Lapsang Souchon or Ceylon Orange Pekoe.
Andy
I'm definitely not Kenyan lol I do have a beautiful friend who is, enjoy your taste in tea dearest Andy. โ ๐น Happy Friday my dear friend. ๐น
I was ruthlessly taught never to let the water boil but extract the kettle the moment just before the boiling ensues.. still brisk and bubbly hot to burn. ๐ซ
lol a great self description dear arqios, thank you dear poet. โ ๐
