#1 Amazon New Release in Poetry Anthologies and Poems About Nature. Available on Amazon.com. Six of my poems are included.
Agatha's Tea Room
by Dawn Pisturino
The gold letters on the front window read:
“Agatha’s Tea Room.”
A tiny hole in the wall barely noticed
By pedestrians on the sidewalk
And drivers in the street.
Old. Stodgy. Stuffy. Old-fashioned.
Easily ignored.
But my addiction to that stimulating beverage
Brought me to this door,
And here I brought my young daughter
To introduce her to the scintillating pleasures of
cream tea.
Holding her tiny hand, I pushed open
The heavy wooden door, inhaling the aroma
Of freshly-baked scones and hot Earl Grey tea.
My heart quickened in my chest
For here, I felt comfortable and at home.
Antique sideboards from Victoria’s London
Sheltered fine porcelain and bone floral China.
My daughter, neatly attired in her Alice in Wonderland
dress
And Mary Jane shoes, perfectly matched
The paintings of Alice on the walls.
Our British waiter seated us with a pleasant smile.
Soon, I was sipping my black tea,
Liberally whitened with cream,
And my daughter drank milk
As she learned the delicate task of savoring a
buttered scone
Crowned with clotted cream and black currant jam.

Ancient Voices: Poems About Ancient Egypt
Dedication
These
original poems were inspired by my deep love and fascination for the rich
history, culture, and spirituality of Ancient Egypt. If you love this ancient
civilization as much as I do, these poems are dedicated to you.
Ancient Voices Book Blurb
The
Ancient Egyptians loved life and celebrated it with joy. Their deepest desire
was to live an honorable life and achieve immortality in the afterlife, where
they could exist in perfect harmony with the cosmic order and never experience
pain, suffering, and hardship again. These original poems by Dawn Pisturino reflect
the hopes and dreams of people who were not much different from us. They
worked, loved, raised families, worshipped their gods, honored the dead,
enjoyed festivals and celebrations, imbibed beer and wine, danced, sang, and
played, aspired to better themselves, and appreciated the beauty and wonder of
nature. Take a journey back in time to explore the minds and hearts of the
Ancient Egyptians.
