Afternoon Tea

There's darkness
rising in the land

Strange dead
hands reaching
through the ether
to drag souls back
to oblivion's
devastating abyss

Oh, never mind...

It's just the Tea Party

I should have known that you could never write about the traditional pleasure of tea time. Ah, but you are good!

...this poem brings the Tea Party mood in America very clearly for us here down under...we have copycats here too, Patrick...I bet Stephen Colbert is having a field day making fun of these Tea Party people....I wonder why they took Stephen Colbert off public TV here...
