Seven ways of looking at a kettle

V

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The kettle whistling
Or just after.

If your whimsy were dope induced, one might comment that this is "the pot calling the kettles blackbirds."
Being the sober gentleman you are, I will merely say that this is a fine reflection both on poetry and kitchenware.

Thanks, Sarah. That's some pun, too.

You have a great eye for the unusual John...........a shot of a pile of kettles would not even have occurred to me!

I think it works very well.............The sheen and distorted reflections on the kettles are just fascinating. Who would have thought it..........well you, obviously!

I love the colour palette too..............and your processing!
