Repost: Cups of Joy

Sunday Scribblings 2 has the prompt “Teacups”.
Here’s one I prepared earlier:


Cups of Joy

Seldom in the daily rush of life
Do you meet with such perfection;
Beautifully displayed, with love and care,
They arouse a deep affection.

Such vessels are a joy to hold
And warm the cockles of your heart.
Lovingly filled, sweet and warm and milky,
They are a most wond’rous piece of art.

O glorious porcelain saucer and cup
I swoon, en route to fainting,
Now, if the woman will kindly step away,
I can look more closely at the painting.

  1. Snicker.
    Nice twist. And clever ambiguity.

    1. Well I did try to tone it down without losing too much effect...

You've come this far - thank you.
Take your time, look around,
There is lots to see.
