The moment is frozen in time
as the coffee cup falls to the floor.
No more, no more!
Heart pounding, urging my mind on!
No more, please, no more!
The moment,
precise to the nano-second,
when I know I’ve been here before.
Patterned cup floating through solid air
as it falls, in slow motion, to the floor.
This is my entry for this week’s Magpie Tales, Mag 102. My mother has cups with these kinds of patterns, which is possibly why my inspiration started spinning on the cup-theme.
nice…that feeling as its falling when you realize what is happening and know you will never move fast enough to save it…yep…ha….ok so not nice…but a fresh take on the theme
Thank you for reading, Brian. I was trying to capture a moment when there’s just too much going on in the head for you to really be able to catch up with yourself or that falling cup… *smile* Always an honour to have you commenting!
that was pretty, it pulled me in. I enjoyed the presentation as well. Happy gooseberry day and thanks for the visit! 🙂
Happy Gooseberry Day to you too and thank you for reading! *smile*

Wow! I am honoured! Thank you so very much! *smile*
I can remember mom’s china and how important it was. Thank God I never dripped it.
I know the feeling all too well… And then someone bumped the cabinet where I kept all the cups I inherited and half of them broke in one go… *shivers*
Nicely done. Hate to waste a good cup of joe though!
Thank you very much, Mary, for taking the time to read and comment! *smile*
I like the way you depicted this as a cup. Really fresh take on the prompt.
=)
It was just the instant recognition… *blushing* I think my mum’s cups are Miro rather than Kandinsky though… *smile* Thank you for reading and commenting!
Like where your memory and imagination took you …
Thank you very much! *smile*
I love your take on this prompt! Love it!
*blushing* It’s always nice to come up with something just a little bit different… Thank you!
Yup, that’s all there in the picture – and I never noticed it!
Ha ha ha! *grin* Well, aren’t you thrilled you had me to point it out to you? Thanks for reading and commenting!
Marvelous! I never saw that, but everything is there. Thank you.
