Cloud Mist Tea
Snow Water
by Michael Longley
A fastidious brewer of tea, a tea
Connoisseur as well as a poet,
I modestly request on my sixtieth
Birthday a gift of snow water.
Tea steam and ink stains. Single-
Mindedly I scald my tea pot and
Measure out some Silver Needles Tea,
Enough for a second seeping.
Other favourites include Clear
Distance and Eyebrows of Longevity
Or, from precarious mountain peaks
Cloud Mist Tea (quite delectable)
Which competent monkeys harvest
Filling their baskets with choice leaves
And bringing them down to where I wait
With my crock of snow water.
Apophysis, no post work.

Oh, tea … I see it now. On first glance, I was thinking it was a graceful sea anemone, but tea is good, too.
Lauren Zorn replied
I know, I thought sea anemone at first too, but I decided to name it Cloud Mist Tea because I liked the poem. Thanks for looking !
