Sunday Picnic With Tiny Lightnings

[poetree_admin]

jjhunter

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

This week I wrote a rather silly limerick about a camel.

Oh Thor not the tiny lightnings. I get enough tiny lightnings in the ordinary course of a day. Friday was particularly annoying. I zapped M once, J twice, and me at least a dozen times. Static electricity BUGS me.

It is only a couple weeks till this term ends and I can share all the poetry I wrote for class that's worth sharing.

TEEEEA.

:passes teapot:
I have Princess Luna tea made up, and :waves vaguely at haphazard pile of tea tins: some other things if that doesn't suit...

I stick with Irish Breakfast and this thing I found on Adagio of chocolate chip tea. I have a few samples of other things but somehow I never get around to trying them.

[fyreharper]

I am terrible at sticking with one type of tea, which means I have wayyyyy too many kinds >.>
