Haha that’s quite the encounter. Fun poem, and noted on the trick for a burning mouth!

That's a nice interaction. 🫶🏻 I'm glad it found home in your poetry. 🌸We as humans live for such interactions. It's a fine example that humanity is not lost. It's still there hidden inside loving people.

Either way it’s cute, I love the unique scenario that inspired you to write about this

It's made of green chilli."

"She brings the tea...

And a banana for free."

Burned my tongue...

Then healed it.

Some people leave you remembering a conversation.

Others...

A small act of kindness.

Warm. Whimsical. Memorable! I'M SUBSCRIBING!

How did this not succeed? I love this weird little interaction, and the plot twist at the end where the shop's been closed for an hour, was not expecting that. It reminds me that there are still some good people out there. The woman in the poem gives me Asian grandma vibes for some reason. I also like the little rhyme in this line "She forgot to mention it's made of green chilli

She brings the tea and a banana for free". It tickles my brain in a nice way, good rhythm
