Tantalizing women have tempted many. The Tantalizing Taste of a Woman
With tea what you get for taste
Is what you choose to brew.
If you select premium whole leaves,
Not ground up bits of dust, then you
Will get a richer flavor that
Will tempt you time and time again.
The qualities of a good woman
Are much the same.
It’s the whole woman you
Should consider, not specks of
This and that which can be
Whisked away like spilled leaves on
The counter board.
Choosing a good woman
May take many tastings and much time.
But making the right
Choice will be, oh, so rewarding
When you enjoy cup, after cup
After cup, after cup.

Discussion:
Well now. A reader recently asked me to post more tea poems. So, I will occasionally put in tea poem in The Causerie. This one is a little sultry, but there are references to tea in this golden oldie, so there you go. This poem is about choosing a good woman for your mate. The writer suggests that one should consider the whole woman and then select a woman of good quality. Of course one should take his time in the selection process and 'taste' the prospective choice many times. Yes, this is a sensual poem. Yes, the metaphor about enjoying cup after cup, after cup could be about sex. And you can interpret 'tasting a good woman' any way you want to. Thanks for reading. skp
