reminds the tired monk

in a quiet kitchen
slow dance

    Ollie - love the way this is laid out.
    the space surrounding 'of love' creates a great pause for the last stanza which is just wonderful.

    "slow dance in a quiet kitchen", how quaint and quite romantic..like a spur of the moment decision.

    I love this; the idea of the ordinary and when magic arrives you partake! Wise Monk ;-D

    my reminders are less poetic... we use a dishwasher, and my husband has no rhythm. less poetic, but still sweet.

    This tells a story without revealing much at all. It allows the reader to take wonder and take it places with their imagination. Great job.

    Such a vivid and romantic picture, elegantly stated. Worthy of a good old fashioned waltz for sure.
