Ode to the Humble Spoon
Guardian of Delicate Bites
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.
Great ode, Stevie! The spoon really is a vital element of the kitchen.
I loved this. I really felt the sense of comfort and friendship a spoon brings! :)
