    Poem Commentary

    An ode to a cup of tea

    Cup of Tea

     

    This late lamented cup of tea

    Now as cold as cold could be

    Stares up at me so wistfully

    Why did you not drink me?

     

    He thought; an era of leaf duration

    When brought from a tea plantation

    To cure all ill’s if English nation

    He now sits still in exasperation

     

    I was brought to replenish thrust

    Like, when water on a desert burst

    Your throat coughs reminds of hurt

    The benefits of tea again you skirt

     

    So as you type or right; think of me

    That once hot now cold cup of tea

    Usurped of all its responsibility

    So sad to think it’s the drain for me.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
