Jo Spumoni asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 9 years ago

Can you give me feedback on this poem?

I wrote a poem about making tea, and I just don't have a good ear for poetry. This might be dumb and it might be great and I just haven't the slightest idea. Feedback? Thoughts?

I watch the bitter liquid steam

And slowly drift into a dream

Where the rising warmth is not

The water boiling in the pot

But is instead your hand on mine.

Then I hear the kettle scream

And I awaken from my dream

Alone, except for warm caffeine.

Update:

Yeah, the last three lines are a bit fishy I guess. There is caffeine in some teas though. Breakfast tea has a fair amount.

    Whoa, what a dream!

    I like it, and it certainly ain't dumb!

    Jung & Freud would have a field-day with this one...lol

    I don't think there is caffeine in tea. I could be wrong.

    It's nice except for the 5th line - Actually - the last three lines could be redone. But it very nice and very creative!
