Kitchen Chatter

[Keith]

The cutlery drawer said "the glass was a whore"
for drinking all night with some hands,
a bottle of wine said "she's out all the time".
The glass said "you wouldn't understand".

The tap on the sink said "the plug hole stinks"
and that limescale lowers the tone,
the recycling bin said "just ignore him
he's always up polishing his chrome".

The kitchen table claimed the chairs were unable
to sit still with their legs underneath,
the chairs agreed and were really quite pleased,
as the mop bucket peed on its feet.

The gas from the hob, left on by a knob,
filled the room for most of the day.
It's believed that a spark switched on in the dark,
blew the poor cooker away.

Hey Keith. On first read I really like this one. Reminds me a little of Tom Waits The Piano has been drinking.

The cutlery drawer said the glass was a whore
for drinking all night with some hands,
a bottle of wine said she's out all the time, New sentence maybe
the glass said you wouldn't understand.

The tap on the sink said the plug hole stinks
and that limescale lowers the tone,
the recycling bin said just ignore him Again, personal preference for a new sentence
he's always up polishing his chrome.

The kitchen table claimed the chairs were unable
to sit still with their legs underneath,
the chairs agreed and were really quite pleased,
as the mop bucket peed on its feet. Enjoyed this line.

The gas from the hob, left on by a knob,
filled the room for most of the day,
it's believed that a spark switched on in the dark,
blew the poor cooker away.

This was a joy to read. The first line set the tone beautifully and it was a fun tumble to the end. Thanks for posting it.

Keith - This was fun with an originality of its own I enjoyed. Nice work Keith. Namyh

The cutlery drawer said the glass was a whore
for drinking all night with some hands,
a bottle of wine said she's out all the time,
the glass said you wouldn't understand. (...said you'd not understand...or something like that)

The tap on the sink said the plug hole stinks (thought quotes around "the plug hole stinks" for tonal emphasis...IDK)
and that limescale lowers the tone,
the recycling bin said just ignore him
he's always up polishing his chrome. (seems like there might be a better way to schmooze this line)

The kitchen table claimed the chairs were unable
to sit still with their legs underneath,

Ha, ha, ha...I love your sensibility, love your stuff. Just a couple of things that I might have written in my own different way...flow thing I guess...no biggie...joyful read.

Thank you NN I will have a think about your comments, not sure this one has much more mileage, it was one of my daily poems during April set by Milo but its nice to see some readers have enjoyed it. Best Keith

[Bunx]

This poem got a chuckle out of me. I kept thinking, reading the poem, where is this going? By the end of it you get a clear picture about the "knob" in this poem and his drunken night that ended pretty terribly. Really liked this one

[Keith]

Hey Bunx, chuckles are good and good to hear from you, I thought 'seasons' was a big change from you and hoped we would see more ? Best Keith

[Bunx]

Thanks Keith. Really liked how Seasons came out. Sadly I have not been posting as much I have been finding it really hard to come up with subject matter for poems. I have been helping write lyrics for my new band which I have thought about posting on here. Hopefully I'll find some inspiration soon!

[Erthona]

A quatrain with the first three lines having four accents, and the last line having one accent. Discounting the very first line.

A rhyme pattern of xAxA. Both rhyme and accentual verse consistent throughout except for where it has already been pointed out.

My favorite line was: "the mop bucket peed on its feet"

Overall all a witty and funny poem.

Thanks Dale for taking the time and using the right word to describe the form, I could not have done that, you and others like you are fortunate in that you see the matrix. Best Keith

Hi MJ thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Best Keith

[Keith]

That was fun. The fact that the chatter ends with an explosive is the perfect ending.

Thanks FDP much appreciated. Keith
