Fading

When I was digging around in a box in the basement, looking for items to donate, I found my old Sink Poem. I took it out of the dusty glass frame to photograph, cleaned the glass and reinserted the parchment. I’ve typed it as the poem is fading.

Sink Poem

When you dump your glass in here,

Who will find it later, dear?

When you soak your pan or pot

Did you stop to give a thought?

Who will have to stay up late

When you leave your bowl or plate?

Who will rinse and wash and dry

I wonder who?

I wonder why?

Calligraphy by Marianne M
Sink Poem, written decades ago, before I resumed my surname.

A Friend’s Dishes Made Me Laugh

How about this bowl? There’s a fly in your soup! What are these fun dishes, I asked?

Calamityware

Created by artist/ retired graphic designer Don Moyer. Read about how he took a classic Blue Willow plate “ The Calamityware series started in 2011 when I inherited a traditional, Willow-pattern plate and decided to sketch it in my notebook. I couldn’t resist the temptation to add a pterodactyl in the sky”

Check out the TCBW collection. That’s Things Could Be Worse

When was the last time you looked at a dish and laughed?
