Tea For One Poem by Robin Bennett

Tea For One

Rating: 5.0


Days lag in a world-
Where no one exits
Just a prelude to the solitude
That governs the next-
Momma and Daddy
drink bigger bottles now
I'm left in a small child's
world of make-believe

My world of lolly-pop trees-
and gumdropp clouds
Now blue birds-
sing the melodies
Momma used to sing
She swapped feeding
me my bottle
To chugging
back her gallon jug

I don't even cry any longer-
So much pain
when they scream
for me to shut up
Whisper wind quiet
Sounds only my kind hears

It's tea time for me
Mr. Cherry Bear and Dolly Madison-
I pass out the cookies
from last night when
Momma and Daddy
fell asleep on the floor
My room is still so beautiful
When they used to care for me

Now I'm alone
and no one cares about
a tiny, scared little girl
Trapped within her imagination
It's the only freedom,
and peace that reside here
