Delicate

Dainty white china plates
dressed in blue and white glaze,
dinner set from the date,
Dad and Mum wedding day
din ensues- tinkling sound
daring cat  gets away,
dozen shards on the ground.

That naughty kitty is at it again! So nice to see you finished yours. I was struggling to get mine done in time too. You are so talented to manage telling an entire story with just these few lines. Your imagery of the damage was too funny! Thanks for the laugh. I need to get to bed now. ; ) 7
