Teatime Having tea, taking tea; that daily cup makes it merry and bright: —Journeying through the world of tea

What is tea to Ainee? Tea is medicinal first and foremost; it is an individual and very personal experience. It is more than reaching for a cup adding water and a tea bag of choice, or adding loose leaf tea from a tea container and bringing it to boil to making and having a cup of tea.

What began as an introductory course into poetry burned cravings into me, at times very confrontational with the professor, in wanting, needing to be heard. To have him know that I could write poetry, perhaps not as good as Blake, Conrad, Dickinson, Frost, Shakespeare and the countless dead poets whose name escapes me resulted with this...
