One of these days

by Yakari Gabriel   Oct 20, 2012


I am a teacup,
I stand still on
the kitchen counter
and stare at each one of
you

its coffee time,
so I don't get
involved-

but who knows,
maybe one of these
days you all will
discover
brittish ways.

perhaps,
coffee will tire
all of you
and we'll have tea instead.

    This was an adorable piece, the metaphor of tea and coffee was creative, and I just love it!
    It's got a simplistic flare to it, but as I read it over and over again, the message took me deeper, way deeper.. I could feel almost like the author was expressing a sense of loneliness and it gave me a feeling of sarcastic tones.

    The tea cup is looking out at a sea of coffee cups and letting them know that maybe in time they might see the beauty of "tea".. the beauty within is what I'm feeling here...

    This poem actually made me want to drink of cup of tea.. ha ha. On a more serious note it has an inspirational message in my opinion and the beauty of the author's heart and soul can be felt throughout this poem. Awesome!!

    This so cute and funny in a way. An adorable write. Coffee is just the peak to having a moment of a strong refreshing spirit. The smell is so strong and makes one intoxicated in a beautiful way. The aroma of coffee is just enriching to the senses. Even a taste of its brew to the mind, is enough to fill one up. Its always good to relax with a mug of coffee, infused with its cream. Taste royal and the strength it exudes is just wonderful. Tea is great but coffee is just off the hook. I enjoyed reading this, short, concise and fun. Welldone! :)..
