Mary Pratt, Study for Butter and Honey, 2008
Why is there a silver soup ladle in the jar mouth open to lucent honey alive with floral orange red hues on that garish table cloth? The jar hexagon shaped near the square butter both sitting in that rectangular dish, foil twists out knife on top the yellow spread a breakfast scene Mary Pratt painted to bring us to our senses. Amy Phimister This poem was written for the surprise challenge, ekphrastic poems inspired by Canadian paintings. After a long corporate career, Amy Phimister has returned to writing full time. She graduated from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame with a B.A. in Creative Writing. A member of the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, she is currently working on a chapbook of her poems.
