#tea #lessonsintead It's National Tea Day in the UK. Paul Brookes of Wombwell Rainbow thought it fitting to accept my rooibos tea poem. This is a #pandemicpoetry creation so there is talk in it of Covid-19, mask-wearing, and a sense that (away from imagination) all color fades to grey. There was a time when television programs ended each night and left behind a static screen (Vibo uses that imagery in her visual poem). The folklore of tea goes back centuries. Certainly, the most popular tea party involves a white rabbit, but the tea story is so much more diverse that just one party. Be sure to watch the TED-Ed Video provided to learn about tea folklore. Conclusion: "Static Screen" is a visual poem by Margaret Viboolsittiseri, 2021 (also available at Wombwell Rainbow).  Comments are closed.
