Short Glassware Poems

closing of the door
on another crazy year
clinking of glassware

opening the new door
peeking in on the inside
passage looking great

Happy New Year....

Pink swirly frosting
Strawberry cake with whipped filling
Ice cream sherbet
Sweetheart roses
Feminine presentation
Pinks light up the room
Goblets and glassware glow in a glitzy way
Perfect birthday for Great-Grandma
Who loves pink, elegance
and fancy, beautiful things...

Brand 

I have a woman
Her name is Prada 
Like the precious brand 
Of Dolce and Gabbana 

She  bewitches like L'Oréal 
Charms like Donna Karan 
She sparkles like Napoleon 
And wows like Louis Vuitton 

Her smile is Donatella
But she waves like Gianni 
She is blooming like Ella 
And shines like Tiffany 

But like a porcelain  
She's fragile like a glassware 
I know not much how to love her 
And handle her with care

*For my daughter*...

More and more
its like a big-box-store
with what had been worn
(whether tattered or torn)
never given to the poor.
There's only rising prices
more and more.

While the making of beautiful
paintings or hours spent doing
needlecraft is tossed on piles
in frames
as detritus with no names
anymore.

Dust covered glassware
competes with sofa springs
for space on the floor
as other days bring fresh donations
of creations
to discard
more and more....

As I watch the great waves crash
I hear the sound of savage splash 
I see the water break like glass 
Like a glassware out of class 

The crashing sets my spirit free 
Of things that cap my memory 
Not all great things come to stay 
So do with pain that goes away 

Even waves as huge as mountain
And one which towers like a fountain 
Can't say it holds its life forever 
But comes and goes just like the weather

As Mothers’ Day approaches
There are emails on my phone
With gift ideas for Covid days
To throw your mom a bone.

So even if you’re stuck inside
Your love you’d be expressin’
If, on Trip Advisor, you’d book an
Aperitivo lesson.

A Roman local will explain
Just how to make this drink.
She’d need her own ingredients
And glassware, I would think.

Of course, this all is virtual
But she might find it nifty
To pretend that she’s in Italy
And all for $16.50!...
