Tea is the best remedy for everything. We found this box of tea with six different kinds of tea options, it was epic. I love the way the tea looks in the bag, it has little flower petals and stems and they're colorful and pretty. The steam smelled good when we poured the water in the mug, and it photographed really well. It feels good drinking tea after flooding my body with coffee over finals week!
I got the boys to drink tea with me and like it, that makes me happy!
Don't forget Chai! Gotta love the chai!
ReplyDeletePS-- Would you be interested in a poem prompt or two? If you write a poem towards a prompt, I will too.
YES! I don't really know how to write poetry....but I can totally pretend. It feels weird not writing suddenly!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! Where was I for this tea making!?! Also I can't believe you like to write now, you used to hate it! Bronte this blog makes me so happy--I love you!
ReplyDeleteYay Bronte! Ok, I will think of a poetry prompt n' post it to your next blog. I will respond to it, too.
ReplyDeleteDo not worry about "knowing how" to write poetry. There is no specific "skill set" required to write good poetry. Revisit the Kim Adonizio and Bishop poems--notice how they use the writing-act, use language as a vehicle of exploration--as a source of revelation and discovery. I like to use the poem as an arena to do illogical, impossible things. In the last year, I've written about dissecting my mother's brain, removing my family's memories via surgical means, and extracting psychosis with genetically modified leaches (I think I told you about that.) The poem-form allows you to do things with language that you can't do in real life...same with painting...and photo shop. Language, though--there's something about language that's especially powerful in the quest for intellectual discovery. I think you've already realized this with the memoir and CM papers.....
