My Favourite Dish
~~~The Dish Upon the Wall~~~
It stands upon the wall.
A scene with a horse drawn carriage.
I wonder about the people inside,
Are they newly joined in marriage?
It holds a place of honor
On a wall of white.
It shows a life in another time.
A clearly magical sight.
To me it's more than just a dish.
The plate is a work of art.
A gothic fantasy
That pulls right at my heart.
It takes me back in time
To days of castles and of kings.
That lovely dish is one of my
Most loved and treasured things.
The dish is old, so very old.
It's condition is pristine.
I picked it up at the antique shop
Because I liked the scene.
