Matcha

Reworked poem, originally from my book, Drinking Poetry

Matcha is a cult

For an army of health and

Antioxidants

Green powder born in

The land of the rising sun

Slayer of toxins

Supreme green matcha

Works magic miracles for

Those slow hangovers

Matcha is a trend

A sweet-flavoured lifestyle for

Otaku hipsters

Green powder transforms

To lattes, cakes, booze and snacks

Best pudding flavour

Supreme green matcha

Passed the exam with flying

Hues of blue and green

Matcha is a tale

Leaves regenerated by

Loving farmer’s hands

Green powder travels

To a thousand cities and

Oriental shops

Supreme green matcha

Down on our knees we pray

For neighbour’s health
