The Complete Making of Blueberry Rooibos Tea

The Complete Making of Blueberry Rooibos Tea

Elderberries, hibiscus, currant, blueberries

Emits a fragrance sweet and tangy

Berries picked fresh so they can be dried

Delightful berries are these

Loosely blended together as they await in solitude

Until one opens the lid which unleashes the delightful smell

Once again

---

Breathe deeply into the aroma for the second time

As the ingredients are poured into a white filter

Berries fading smell linger there in the filter

Awaiting the adventure that will unleash their fragrant scent

Here comes the pot full of tepid water

Water pours over the four dried berries

The berries once delightful

Now look dreadful

Hot water sears before being unleashed into the filter

Pouring out atop the berries

Water now falls into the pot

---

Alas, the third and final time

Odoriferous heavenly scent embellishes the surrounding air

Elderberries, hibiscus, currant, blueberries

Such sweet aroma mixed complete with sugar

I stand above the pot and breathe again

---I inhale---

 “””””

c(_)

The smell of ambrosial flavors enter into my lungs

Breathing out I reach for the pot

And there I pour my afternoon drink

Elderberries, hibiscus, currant, and blueberries.

 

 

 

This poem I submitted for my poetry class. We are sort of working on writing "externally" so that's what I kind of tried to do.. but I just wrote it up pretty quickly.. let me know what you think. It's kind of different trying to "write" poetry; I usually only write when I'm inspired.
