Write in the city 10May22 (a sonnet)
Plates of fine china, proud, indifferent,
Each one grandly installed on its throne.
Born in families reputable, affluent,
In grace incomparable, in beauty well known.
Plates of fine art, impressive and charming,
Proudly beams at every passer-by
Who stops in awe, beholding and admiring,
To impress their audience, they need not try.
Plates of high standing, nonchalant, reserved,
Exudes an aura of grandeur unmatched.
Getting the rapt attention they deserve,
From their audience they appear detached.
Day and night, enthroned in regal state
On tall pedestals, they are pompous plates.
"Pompous Plates"
