Here's a little ditty I like to roll out on occasion I call

Goodbye Favorite Glass

It goes something like this - one, two, three, four...

Farewell my friend, my trusty companion
How many beverages had we shared?
How many Lattes, Cappuccinos, Mochas
During the Winter?
How many Ice Coffees during the
Long Summer Evenings?
How many beers before I recycled you
From your original promotional purpose?
And let us not forget the other uses
We discovered together
The way your thickened astigmatism provided
The perfect foil for a lens
How well you maintained the warmth of soup
Not only as a make-shift ladle
But as the very cup from which I sipped the broth
To have lasted so many years I presumed you were
Tempered to the highest degree
But obviously not
It was only a matter of a four feet drop
That saw you explode into a bazillion bits
I watched in horror your slow motion fall
Time stopping for an eternity
As you dive-bombed off the bench
Though within armsreach being erstwhile
Occupied it was impossible to decide what to
Sacrifice to prevent your plummet to destruction

I'll miss you Favorite Glass
And though I have no photographs of you
When you were alive
I now have many pictures of your diamond-shard pieces
On Black Velvet

I remember this one MM. I remember it because it is memorable. It is memorable because its good. Thanks for joining in.

I do not remember this one, Mystyr. Love it very much, especially the second part (from after "promotional purpose") and how it builds the climax... Like often with your magic verse, here too I easily merge with the story, especially because it evokes ah, one or two situations at my table I would almost cry with regret over a broken glass, or a bowl I had a special relation with...

Good stuff MM,

you are a talent.

[Varenne Rodin]

That's very good. It pulled me into a moment. I broke my wine glass recently. I was sad. It was beautiful.

Thankyou Bar22do :)

It's not so bad now time has passed, and having elicited empathy. The replacement is working out fine, but it'll never be the quite the same.

Thanks Jajdude :)

[MystyrMystyry]

Thankyou Var :)

Another of the empathetical experience!

I feel your loss...
