You are the bread and the knife, <br />The crystyle goblet and the wine <br />~Jacques Crickillon <br /> <br />You are the bread and the knife, <br />The crystyle goblet and the wine <br />You are the creamer in coffee <br />And the mayonaize on the bread <br />You are the pedal on a red rose <br />And the lead in a colored pencil <br /> <br />How ever you are not the lines on paper <br />The flowers in Spring <br />Or the wind in my hair <br />And you are certainly not the flame on a butterscotch candel <br />There is just no way you are the flame on a butterscotch candel <br /> <br />It is posible that you are the chees in Mac N Cheese <br />Maybe even the sand on a beach <br />But you are not even close <br />To being the fizz in soda <br /> <br />And a quick look in a mirror will show <br />That you are not the spider on the wall <br />Or the frog on a log <br /> <br />It Might be a good for you to know <br />Speaking of the plentiful world of imagery <br />That I am the cherry in a chocolate <br /> <br />I also happen to be the perfume in the bottle <br />The paint on a wall <br />An the page in a book <br /> <br />I am also the white in peper <br />And a blanket that keeps you warm <br />But don't be alarmed, I am not the bread and the knife <br />You are still the bread and the knife <br />You will always be the bread and the knife, <br />And not to mistake the crystyle goblet and -somehow- the wine <br /> <br />~Sierra Case <br />Based on 'Litany' <br />By Billy Collins<br /><br />Sierra Case<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterscotch-candel/
