Still Life - With Fruit, Doily and Bottle

STILL LIFE - WITH FRUIT, DOILY AND BOTTLE They spill! Of her he’d had his fill He tipped the table Dumped! Her oranges, apples, pears Surprised the tea cup biddies - Set them on their ears - Then, with her priceless lacey cloth Had wiped the floor of fruity froth Hence he meant to finish the job Attacked the bottle with a fork Laughed, then pulled the noisy cork

You have crafted an elegant poem out of a simple kitchen incident. Such is the power of imagination. It is God gifted. Your poems inspire me. Have you published a book? Incidentally my collection of poems titled The Rainbow of Dreams has been published by Createspace of Amazon and is available from Amazon. Thanks for your kind comments on my poem The Town Called Sintra. Tell me before coming if you need any help. I'll stroll with you in the gardens of Sintra and discuss today's lustful society.

I have always loved the element of a surprise or twist, so this fulfills nicely. I've got to read more of your work; you deserve it for its quality--and for the great things you have said about mine! Prepare, my dear.
