Teapot
Dark shining sat on the shelf
my morning madness and my evening relief
plump browness has only one purpose
to serve me and only myself.
Perfectly shaped for its only role
purveyor of hot earl grey tea,
a bobble hatted lid, an elfin ear handle,
arched trunk spout combine with a soul.
Its round belly traditional and sound
holds two teaspoons of finest leaves
topped with boiling water and then wait.
A simple tea ceremony is then performed
set cup, add milk lift pot and pour.
Drunk snuggled in dressing gown,
comfortable safe and warmed.
