868

A crop of the canvas 'De Meeting'  by LeRoy Clarke

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?

    Amazing lines there! The clop clop was brilliant!....Ah, the angel, on top of the tree...well...you are right, look at the big picture, and focus on what should be focused on...

    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!

    Nice to hear you're dining out again! I love the painting, though it's slightly terrifying...

    How wonderful to be able to dine out... I hope it's not back again after the new variant.
