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.
