A fine china cup
anticipates infusion
of fine China tea


Love to start the day
with a steaming mug of tea:
wakes me up a treat!



Tell me you love me
and let us plight our troth with
a nice cup of tea

This will be fun and interesting.
I love Tea and Poetry. ( P.s. Haikus are becoming a favorite poetic form of mine)

Do you define haiku as strictly 5-7-5 or do you accept anything 5 or less, 7 or less and 5 or less per line? Also do you consider oneliners?
