Ode to the Humble Spoon

Guardian of Delicate Bites

Ode to the Humble Spoon

In a world filled with shining cutlery,

Among forks and knives, you stand uniquely.

O humble spoon, with your gentle bend,

You cradle our meals, a trusted friend.

No sharp points to sting, no edges to slice,

Just a tender scoop, your method precise.

From soups to cereals, ice creams to brews,

For every bite, it’s you we choose.

In an infant’s grasp or a chef’s skilled hand,

You guide our meals from land to land.

In vast kitchens or by campfire’s glow,

Your silvery shine provides comfort we know.

A sentinel in coffee, a dance in the tea,

Stirring and mixing, setting flavors free.

O ordinary spoon, in your elegance you stand,

Serving us all with a gentle hand.

Without your embrace, our food might stray,

But in your hold, they’re guided our way.

O humble spoon, with dedication so true,

For every feast, we’re grateful to you.

    I can see the warmth you feel to the humble spoon. I like how it can both cut and scoop, doing the job of a knife and a fork too. Great writing, I love it.
