📜 Poetry and Tea 🍵

My poem, The Comfort of Chinese Food was chosen by Off-Topic Publishing to be distributed in a specialty print gift called the Poetry Box ™. I received my complimentary 5 x 8-inch postcard depicting a cup of tea    with my poem printed beside it. It was    nestled in a beautiful, wrapped package nestled alongside some delicious chocolate and tea samples -- and I could tell it was done with caring hands and perfect for framing. The best part is each subscription receives a monthly poem and goodies.     If you don’t know what to get that poet or literature professor    in your life   why not delight them with the gift of poetry? Go to:

The Comfort of Chinese Food 

By Ann Chiappetta

 

It was Lum Yen or Tung Hoy

Dad poured tea -- too hot to hold 

too hot for lips. The dare of dipping a fried noodle into hot mustard

the eye-watering bite of horseradish     priceless

when he grinned

 

Now in the seat beside the window

my reflection is the partner

I order and stir a drink with the red 

Umbrella. Tommy, the owner serves me. He is 

a silver-temple surrogate.

I slide over the bowl of fried rice

reaching for the fork. He stops it

And offers the spoon instead.
