inspiration from Haiku poet Yozakura (1640-1716)
deep silence
only the sound of boiling water
an empty cup
© Yozakura
all alone
at the foot of Mt. Fuji -
tea and nothing else
© Yozakura
in this tea house
the smell of cherry blossoms
scooping hot water

My Tea poems:
embracing teacup
whiffs of sweet raspberry
heat penetrates hands
tea-party with bears
taste of imagination
sipped with great pleasure
Love the warm hands... that's half the pleasure of drinking tea

DeleteWhat a gorgeous set of tea-haiku Dolores ... i can feel the warmth of the tea-glass.
ReplyDeleteHow I miss those childhood tea parties --- children make grand hostesses (and hosts).
