I'm not too sure how you will get on with this one, as I think it may seem eccentrically English to you?! So, what's new on my page?!... :)) K xx
SPOON
Silver, plastic, wooden, chrome.
Mirror witness -
mute, but bending the truth.
In touch with our most intimate parts:
knowing what we have for breakfast,
our secret sins of sugar,
the undisclosed medications -
even our difficult birth.
Soother to the toothless:
A toddler's toy and conveyor of
comfort to helpless old-age.
Sociable, tea-time chattering:
clinking to the kettle's whistle;
singing along with the microwave's hum.
Lovingly sharing our "Death By" desserts,
meting out life in palatable doses.
So much truth in what you say and amazing how much such little things are such a big part of out lives yet we never see them till someone like you helps us focus on them. I definately will look differentl at spoon next time I use one and one other think reminds me of snugglig or spooning, lol.
You really have to be sharp and talented to write such an excellent tribute to "a spoon." This is a fantastic write, Kate and it shows the depth of your imagination and your skill. LOL at Dave's comment!
Take care,
Sherry
I will never look at a spoon the same way again. :) It is all these things, and more.
Fantastic write--you can write about ANYTHING!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

You know a spoon does make a good toy for a toddler and grown men take them and make music with them. What would I do without a spoon. Interesting subject matter Kate.
