A Cup of Zen

A Cup of Zen

In seeking critics, all
you hear is your own voice.
A recognition, (however false),
is something you lust for.
How can you dream of having
your cup filled with fresh tea
when it is still full of
old and warm coffee?


(An exercise called "word cloud" , where you have to use the words from the list to write a poem. Some of the words from the list are: cup, critics, voice, false, recognition, coffee etc.)

I like "A cup of Zen."

Actually, in old China Town in Manhattan,
there is this so-called "鴛鴦茶" which
simply mixes coffer and tea together,
invented by immigrants much earlier.
Some said, HK also has this, I'm not sure.
They borrow the name "鴛鴦茶", I guess.

If you ask for it in some old restaurants,
they will make you one.
