ReplyDeleteHmm! Well, I began by searching "tea" in Facebook for inspiration. I came to the "Tea" page which has this totally dry description of tea (stanza 1). The description is actually linked from Wikipedia, so technically I should have written "Wikipedia said," but I didn't discover that until later. The following stanzas are my attempts to keep the sound of the original, while changing the words. It's not perfect, of course, but there it is! Now I think of it as what happens to a poem when you let it "steep". heheheheee
