tarnished spoon, dull butter knife,
my empty blue plate

    Such a graphic definition of poverty, whether it be of the soul or body. Well done!

    i love your haiku.
    the feeling of growing old intimately with a few possessions. of knowing and of being known.
    the grace of simplicity and the hope of refilling an empty blue plate.

    Sharpen up that knife. Never know when you’ll get a piece of something that needs to be cut.

    Peace

    Your haiku conjoured up so many thoughts…many about food…one of my dearst topics!
    I really enjoyed the possibilities!

    I hope the plate is empty because you have had a good and simple meal. I am enjoying the blessings of the bare necessities this past week and found your words comforting, if tinged with sadness.

    the beauty of an empty plate is there is lots of room to fill it!
