Breakfast Tea

It had rained all day and night
And this morning the tilting swale
That rims the pines is poised
Brim-full with silvery water and
Swirling pungent pine needles . . .

Tea leaves in a tarnished pot
About to boil and pour its froth
Into a ravine that runs in runnels
To the road where it dips and hollows
And waits like an old chipped cup.

Your descriptions just blow me away, nice alliteration with the "r"s.
