A cup of tea...sums it all

it is our vision that makes all the difference

A  Vicious circle, a plot with twists!

An unending mystery, a spiral called life!

I find it simple, as simple as tea;

Each component of life, perfectly summing up,

As ingredients of tea!

Problems and worries go with caffeine…

Difficult to deal, at times unending;

But is it not problems that define our life?

Sugar is our attitude,

Brings simplicity and adaptability

Adds colors to our lives;

Just like it adds taste to tea!

Caffeine imparts aroma, sugar imparts taste…

Similarly problems bring challenges, attitude solves them

So just as goodness of tea, is governed by balance of  two

Quality of life is governed by problems and attitude!

Life is all about facing  and winning challenges;

So can’t we sum up our life, as a cup of tea?

A shot of caffeine, with an ounce of sugar

Blended in water, balanced with milk!

I really liked this because while tea is simple it also is not. Every leaf grows different from the other each brewed in a different manner. And just as life not everyone enjoyes tea. The analogies were splended and all and all was written very nicely.

Simply Creative and deep. :) I love how you use so many metaphors in your work. Great piece. Keep writing! :)

What an amazing write. Your wit and conceit made this poem very effective. I really admire your comparison. Well done..!!!

Such a lovely comparison!

[Willard Wells]

Very nice read on the subject of tea which I do adore, but most of my caffeine is in the coffee cup first. The results are about the same.

You made me spellbound...you are really a very intelligent poetess...how nicely you compared life with tea...Actually now i want to ask you how do you write such beautiful poem????? will you teach me??? I am still a 15 year old child and would like to become your student.....i liked it and actually more than that...

Let me guess, water represents family, and milk is love...
Great analogy with the composition of tea in reference to our life. Our attitudes truly are our key to unlocking the gifts our life... Without problems, we'll lose that ability and joy to truly live, the 'aroma' of a great life.
You 'aced' this Miss. Sinha..super ace ;)
