Tea And Trickery (AwSprite) (2)

Tea And Trickery

Sitting and poised by king Arthur's side

Night had fallen after their hunting ride

Once pale pink light of evening sunset

Whispering through the woodwind quartet

White skin glistening under lilac vines

Heavenly aromas of spiced tea wine

Inhaling sugar rolls of secret delights

Telling tales of beauty known as snow white

Elegant fine china artfully shown and beheld

Tom thumb dancing as if magically compelled,

Over tea spoons and skating upon cake trays

Midsummer days of amber spun rays

Trickery and tears of sweet noon joy

Hiding behind honeyed smiles beautifully coy

Underneath delicate pleasing tones

Miniature hands gathering clothes; slowly sewn

Beneath Tom thumb's fingers, a neat little bow, the tea party guests all stitched in a row.
