One Deep Breath ..... Tea
The participants at One Deep Breath share a haiku, or two, or even three each week, on a given theme. This week's theme is Tea and Coffee. I've missed out on participating a few weeks (as with many other of these weekly challenges or prompts), but I've been able to read over most of them, and it strikes me again what a beautiful form haiku is. It does give us pause, to breathe. There's a sigh that comes with a haiku. A letting down of something. This isn't one of the groups that calls huge numbers to participate (yet), but it is quietly offering peace and tranquility in a lovely way. Thanks to Susan and Jennifer who organise the group.
Here's what came having visited two dear friends this evening, and shared tea with them.
Tea / Chai

for tea, with sweet tastes and talk.

So nice, this sharing of tea with friends. I like this poem.
yes, very nice haiku. I hope that ODB will always be a place to pause and reflect each week... So glad you are enjoying.
This haiku is lovely, I can almost smell the "persian-scented air".
Lovely and atmospheric.
Your few perfectly chosen words capured the mood exactly - very lovely!
very nice indeed. i'm now appreciating the idea of tea as an activity best shared.
you've given a good description of a haiku too.
"sweet tastes" was lovely in this cosy little `ku :)
This brought a sweet, scent-memory of jasmine tea. Thanks!
Good description. I'll have to find my tea pot, the taste of chai on my tongue is too good right now.
i love this. beautiful. i love this theme of tea.
Gorgeous haiku, and reading it, I could see and smell everything.
