I wrote this poem on Easter morning -- what does it mean to you?

The salt shaker falls to the floor

crystals disengage

a muted trumpet heralds the beginning

or is it the end?

we sit in the shade

winter had kept us warm, covering

Earth in forgetful snow

Melanie Klein invites us in for tea

we talk for an hour.

    Hello f:

    Means you gotta clean up some salt..  Oh, I'm sure it's deeper than that, but I'm pretty shallow.

    That's the mystery !!  We talked for an hour and she never brought up the topic of the salt shaker!! This post was edited by flipper at April 17, 2017 11:51 AM MDT

  • My first thought is do not read meaning into sundry events.

    If it don't rhyme, it ain't a poem.

    Hi Flipper~ You're craving a shot of tequila instead of boring tea.  If you spill the salt, don't forget to throw some over your left shoulder! :) This post was edited by Merlin at April 18, 2017 6:10 AM MDT
