Tea in the Wee Hours.

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
Hot, hot
But that’s good.
Sitting high
Over neighbourhood.
Eleventh floor
And none above.
Peaceful quiet
From push and shove.
Reading poems
From friends of Verse
Gripping, comforting
Good to rehearse.
Mine the hour
And mine the Room.
Intimate, quiet
Free from gloom.
Will try again
For needed rest.
Mandarine orange tea.
The Best.
