early afternoon memoirs

I made pekoe for two
in my red porcelain teapot
but it was just me and my thoughts
retiring to the sunroom
bird songs in the background
streams of consciousness meandering
inside sublime daydreams
mixing fantasy with memories
and all that was meant to be

I especially adore the first four lines. (I have an affinity for teapots. Grandma had a whole collection.)

I love the image of you having a tea party with your thoughts.

  Good question – I guess that depends upon what else is available in the house.

    instead of tea and crumpets – perhaps, covfefe and trumpets 😏
