tepid tea of bitter dregs
her toothless smile

Lovely
speaks to poverty and resilience. Somehow her toothlessness and the cups edge make me want to cry. wonderful photo as well
The cups jagged edge is important. Nice haiku.
Good poem and a picture that fits it perfectly. Although probably poor, she seems to have a sense of humor which has helped her survive.
