Another poem that's left me speechless. This is perfect. You have now written two of my favorite poems.

Truly exquisite, Larry. Your word choice delectable, delicious; a wonderful assortment of images in perfectly selected arrangements. A veritable feast, like platefuls of poetry tapas laid out by a King for his minions.

What they don't know is, the inspired food came from a deep, dark well of emotion. As he pulled up the heavy bucket, each hefty effort on the thick rope caused blisters to tear and bleed, and sweat to pour.

Enjoy the feast? You bet! Thanks, Larry.

Wow, Darcy. Turn your comment into a poem!

Truly wonderful
