Free verse Saturday: The Broken Coffee Mug
The favorite coffee mug is broken!
Is there some meaning
to this tragedy?
I tried to place the mug
on a wooden T.V. stand,
missed
and the mug dropped to the floor.
The handle shattered,
but the body
remained intact.
I carried the mug
to the garage
and carefully
put it in
the blue recyclable bin.
