#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 Maggs Vibo, 2021 (also available at Wombwell Rainbow).  Comments are closed.

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
