W3 Prompt # 186

tea leaves
floating in the sink
given the toss
no message

unlike the 
bad news bearers
at the bottom
of the tea cup

oh no
not another tsunami
the teapot didn't flinch
just another breakfast

  2. I like how this poem juxtaposes the search for meaning against the backdrop of routine

  3. I like this one, Rall — that “the teapot didn’t flinch” moment has such a great dry humor to it.

    Much love,
