DINE OUT AGAIN - an ekphrastic
Bring to the table your knives and forks
Elbows and fingers
Your green shoes with the platform heels
Clop clop into the dining area
Vaccinated patrons only
This is a safe zone
We feast on sumptuous morsels of
Macaroni pie and trini gossip
Little did we know that staying at home
Could be world mandated
We viewed the paintings of Picasso
Lets steal glances of Clarke
Now here comes dessert
Sweetbread and sorrel
Christmas around the corner
See the angel on the tree top?

Love the "clip clop" visual of those green shoes! We must be vaccinated to eat in restaurants here.

Great poem Gillena! I felt like I went out with you for dinner. The painting is a perfect complement to your poem! I remember platform shoes back in the 70s!
