The Teapot Poem by Patricia Denise Newman

The Teapot

I have a little teapot
it's nothing very grand
just an old brown teapot
on a wooden stand
but this old brown teapot
is very dear to me
given by my mother
when I was twenty three
She told me that this teapot
once belonged to her own mother
was given to her like a shot
when she had no other
It's not a pretty teapot
very cracked and never used
but I could never part with it
it's too highly valued

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Just a bit of nonsense to amuse
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Kim Barney 14 July 2025

Nonsense poems are fun, but this is not nonsense. Seemingly worthless things can have great nostalgic value.
