For today’s prompt, write a release poem. Maybe somebody’s being released from prison or a contract. Maybe a person is signing a release form. There’s emotional and physical release. Animals capturing and releasing other animals. Trees releasing leaves in autumn. And so on.

SWEET RELEASE

by John Yeo

I signed on as cabin boy when I joined the ship
Looking for high adventure.


When you infuse the solution the flavour is released
Then melds into the whole.


The tea clipper speeds across the world
Battered and bruised by the waves.

The odours of the brew rise as the released flavour
Permeates the liquid.

Fully loaded we head for home across the stormy sea.
Facing harsh rigours and enduring deprivation.

Bone china teacups are a must, with a silver tea-strainer
To allow the flavour to be released.

The crew get by, working hard, chasing the horizon
Filling their bellies with rum.

The infusion is perfect if the pot is left to stand
Allowing the fullest flavour to be released.

We arrive in port and I jump ship, never to return.

The experience and the flavour of a sweet release.
