The Silver Rim

lilmoonxx

It was just a dish from the cupboard,

with a thin, silver line around the edge

that didn't play well with the heat.

He trusted the machine,

and he trusted the bowl,

but the "sweetness" ended in a spark

and a very, very hard strawberry.

    It is the incongruence of images and interactions the make this surreal poem so enigmatic that it sticks in the brain and won't let go. Nicely done

  • Katie B.

    Love it, clever
