Hi Jay O'Toole ,

I like this poem. I'm not a fan of oriental forms, but you have created a really nice poem.

Your poem conforms to the rules of the form, and I like the musical quality of the step rhyme pattern.

You capture the idea of tea drinkers as being civilised, and that tea is viewed as something that is drunk in a serene environment. It's easy for the reader to imagine themselves at one of the classy London restaurants like the Ritz or Savoy for afternoon tea.

Thank you for sharing this item! Please keep on writing!
