Title: Tea and Sympathy
Original
Rating: Gen
Notes: Palindrome poem.


Sympathy and tea are—like a much sought-after, ever-found remedy—compassion-skinned.
A cup, steaming breath, steeping leaf, resembles kindness.
Agony exhaled is sorrow cleaved.
Separateness breeding shame—God, you thank—no more.
Dollop pours out: burden lessened, dregs themselves reveal fortunes told ‘fore ruinous end.
When, suddenly, life leaves one
gasping
for a
cuppa.
Afor’
gasping,
one leaves life,
suddenly,
when end, ruinous-foretold fortunes reveal themselves.
Dregs-lessened burden out-pours.
Dollop more? No, thank you, God.
Shame-breeding separateness cleaved.
Sorrow is exhaled agony.
Kindness resembles leaf-steeping, breath-steaming cup; a skinned compassion-remedy found, ever after sought.
Much alike are tea and sympathy.
