A Poem About Tea

Hola Internets.

So the meeting for the school literary magazine went well. Have to do a lot of planning for this semester, and come up with a way to advertise the magazine's release around campus. As well as you know, layout, and editing, and printing, and all the other stuff we didn't do as much of last semester. Also, in other news, I turned in my first article of the winter / spring to the school newspaper. Hopefully the editor will learn to spell my name correctly this semester.

But besides that, Carpe Diem poetry time! (Ok, it's a little lose on the theme, but I tried, so that counts...right?)



“Kaylee”

strawberry tea, strawberry tea
with a hint of kiwi
the smell of summer calling
and an underlying hint of blooming spring

yet the snow is falling
outside the window,
the wind and ice gathering deep

strawberry tea, strawberry tea
with a hint of kiwi
dried fruit of seasons past
defusing bright red in a glass

yet the snow is falling
the blue mantel, blocked out
birds sleeping, rather than singing

strawberry tea, strawberry tea
with a hint of kiwi
the sun never came out today
as the clouds were falling down

yet the snow is falling
laughter hangs on the air
as snowballs crash on plain glass doors

strawberry tea, strawberry tea
with a hint of kiwi
how warm you are inside
a dawning bit of sunlight

yet the snow is falling
and we will go out and play
having fun in the cold all day

strawberry tea, strawberry tea
with a hint of kiwi
your summer is so beautiful, but so far away
the white stark wonderland is here today
