whisking tea
by
Stephen Fox


 seamless sky
 winter water
 whisking tea 



 side by side
 offering, receiving
 stars drift down

 

 moonless
 winter rain
 tea bowls passed



 no dream
 whisking tea
 voice of the kettle*


 
winter chill
sweeping the tea room
vows renewed

      zuiho

Response to
whisking tea
by
Takashi Nonin 
 
 rustling snow on the bamboos
 voice of the kettle-
 silence reigns


 
 crisp ringing welkin
 golden balls of tangerines
 going to temple to tea
 


 Fresh verdure-
 quaff off its colour
 whisking tea in the open

 

 out of tea-arbour
 into evening winter rain-
 couple in love


 
 soft body in kimono
 slithers to the guest
 with a cup of clay
 
            -Takashi

e-mail: ~ Takashi Nonin 




the tea continues
by 
zuiho

not a dream
out in the dark rain
koto



morning tea
offering its fragrance
a pine bough



beyond the hearth
winter chill
deeper day by day



whisking serenity
tea wind

                 zuiho

*(matsukaze, pine wind=the sound
 of the tea kettle)
