By the Lamp Would be Lovely

If I were carved wood
a polished accessory
I'd hold drinks unspilled

::She Poet:: said...: A most creative Haiku. But why ruin beautifully carved wood with watery ringlets?; October 28, 2009 7:39 AM
A Writer said...: What a great haiku!; October 28, 2009 7:48 AM
Laurel said...: Four Dinners is singin' my song. Everybody needs a friend who will hold your drink without spilling it. Or drinking it!; October 28, 2009 9:29 AM
Tabitha Bird said...: Love it Jason. Beautiful. I need some more unspilled cups in my life. Send one over?; October 28, 2009 5:18 PM
Karen said...: Drinks unspilled - so much unsaid here, Jason. Stories behind the story. Great work.; October 28, 2009 5:43 PM
Angie Ledbetter said...: Love a good haiku.; October 28, 2009 9:22 PM
jason evans said...: Four Dinners, I'm definitely the table for you.

Walking Man, full, but I couldn't move a hand to drink it.

Vesper, I could use that too. :)

She Poet, you're right. You can never get those water stains out.

A Writer, thanks. :)

Laurel, just a little sip?? Okay, no. It's totally safe with me.

Tabitha, such people are definitely nice to have around.

Karen, I think it's cool that you can sense what I've woven back there.

Angie, now I just have to write one! ;); October 28, 2009 10:21 PM
Nevine said...: And those beady eyes speak, and speak, and speak. Love this!; October 29, 2009 8:45 AM
K.Lawson Gilbert said...: Do you keep things so contained because you want to, or you have to? So much said in these lines.; October 29, 2009 10:33 PM
Terri said...: A table? Ah. See, that's why it pays to read the comments before leaving one. Because my initial reaction was to say,
"Ah, Jason, you're SO much more than a wooden coaster, my friend..."

Aniket said...: I am the clumsiest man you'll ever meet when comes to handling drinks. Thoughts however, that's another thing...; October 30, 2009 3:28 AM
jason evans said...: Nevine, I'm sure she (the statue) has seen much.

Kaye, I'm forced to. By my own constitution. But it won't sit, either. Rebellion churns beneath the surface.

Terri, I was imagining myself like one of those wooden butlers. A nice, carved statue with hands holding a snappy little table. ;)

Aniket, just so you don't spill them on someone else. :); October 30, 2009 7:47 AM
