Dinner Plates
Every night, while I watch, she stacks the dirty dinner plates: carefully, habitually, with the grace of a woman who has learned to love herself. Intentionally, methodically, cleaning dishes at the sink, she is at her most beautiful. This is her nightly rhythm. The dishwasher is always off because she needs to feel the running water on arthritic hands. Our kitchen window faces...

The Fates of Plates
Two fresh plates to adorn my humble chariot. The one on top had the honor of being mounted at the front, as my customary parking pattern is to back into a space on the far side of the garage. But soft ... was it an honor? To be figurehead, first to see, noble vanguard, and yet, bombarded for countless hours by suicidal...

The juggler would place a plate upon a pole…then looking out at the audience and. grinning, he or she, with...

Of course, there’s Pennsylvania And New Jersey, passing through. Surprisingly, there’s Kansas, Also Carolina (North). I wonder why these people From their native states set forth. It’s hard to find a parking place (For on the street, it’s free), Especially...

Premium Member Shifting Plates of Time
The ground rumbles, ominously, I'm on the steep side of a Mississippi River Bluff, mid-August, gathering bursting crimson red trophies of Staghorn Sumac for my favorite sumac-ade, a spright, invigorating tonic I enjoy this time of year. The smell in the air, forest-sage beginning to dry and ripen, the bitter tang of scattered paper-birch bark...

As infrequent a visitor hayrides through haunted woods are to the segregate’s prison of elm and oak is the sliver of Ray-ban hope I used to count on for steady supplies of vegetation on my salad plate, overgrown now with yellow seed blossoming dollops of strawberry preservative....

Premium Member Life Often Plates Things
Life Often Plates Things That We Don’t Like Written: by Tom Wright 2/10/2018 Sometimes life plates more than can be eaten, And results don’t reward our feint and “duckin.” By rebuffing thoughts that perhaps we’re beaten, Jesus makes a way for us to keep on “truckin.” Being incapacitated briefly brings no undue shame, For Jesus is the one who appears in our corner. Through Him...

Withered hands Gold trimmed plate. Crashed. BROKEN To be its fate. Times and Times again. Review shards to be Reglued. Never the same Design. If that, then a Kindred mind? Who fused The perplexing design. THEN a crescendo Cascaded feet away. Rushed TO fractured FINE CHINA. A MOSAIC EVENT SMOTHERED DINNING ROOM tiles. Even then Time did not recognize The task at hand. None The less, urgency the Atmosphere. SHOVEL WITH CARE. MY DEAR, MY...
