I must admit, I like writing haikus. There's a simplicity and elegance in formulating something beautiful in seventeen syllables. Because of my love of structure, I find comfort in its 5-7-5 syllable limitation, yet, aside from that limitation, the possibilities are endless. All this introduction to say, I have written a few more of these lovely little poems, this time on one of my favorite beverages after having an interview at a tea shop. Hope you enjoy them.
As the kettle sings,
Leaves loose their secret fragrance
With a quiet sigh.
Cream and two sugars
Or just natural flavour,
How'd you like your tea?
Into porcelain,
The aromatic stream falls
Amid steaming clouds.
