Revival.
Oh tiny flat diaphanous
beauty lying as dead on top
of my coffee.
I never saw you drop
from your first flying journey
right into my cup.
Let me resurrect you
to life with one scoop of spoon
under your silence.
Do try to revive by
flutter of wings when dry you
little slip of a fly.

Ah' I recall this little gem.. and enjoy it as much today as i did when first discovered .... x
Your comments are always so welcome - - thanking you for taking the time to read of a little fly's fate today dear Nev.................x
My Dear Fay,
This reminded me of the waiter’s joke,
“There’s a fly in my soup“.
A most enjoyable read.
Have a wonderful day.

Wishing you just the same as today brings its autumn surprises dear Laura - - so pleased you enjoyed the read .
immersive, it reads as an actual thought I might have had myself in the past, though not necessarily about a fly, nor with a tea cup as a culprit
and now flying again
A fine write Fay.
And when revived I'll go find you a nice warm dog **** to dine upon.
Hmm well respect to all living creatures is fine but i'd like a little some of that back in so far as, if a fly is going to walk over my cheese then firstly i'd like him to have clean feet and secondly not to regurgitate the last meals digestive juices (as they do) onto my cheese.
Now if that were a Bee in your tea, then I'd not have a Bee in my bonnet about a fly.
However, that's just me inflicting me upon your fine poetry today. Rapping my own knuckles here.
Rather a sweet piece you have penned here. Certainly good reading for an audience of children's ears too.
ANGELA HERE - Good Eveaning FAY another Sunny Day in Esex - time for me to relax away from WORK. Loved the PIC *n POEM. Your elegant ode reminded me that ^All Creatures Great & Small* are an integral part of Mother Natures Food Chains & Food Webs! Thank you for RESSUSECATING the FLY and not KILLING it ! Knowing You I pressume you drank the coffee without a second thought - I know i would have done! Please check my Poem *Seven Ages of Woman* I am surea it will strike a chord.
Blessings & Love & Joy
