I’M A PORCELAIN TEACUP: award winner
I’M A PORCELAIN TEACUP



I’m a porcelain teacup,
Exquisite and tender,
Shining white with inlaid gold.
Taste to tea I render.

When boiling hot tea is poured
In me I don’t shudder.
Savoring my aroma,
Cries of joy men utter.

But please handle me with care,
I’m fragile and brittle.
Do treat me with silken gloves,
Shocks I can bear little.



 Written in abcb, 7-6-7-6 format.


 Awarded First Prize in the "Invalid Item" , The "I Am" Imagery – Poetry contest
