Here's the text of the poem in case you can't read the image. The image next to it was made with the lining of a wrapper of a chocolate bar.

The hive-shaped spoon was hewn on turning lathe
from wood been-stripped from boughs where apples thrive
and is accustomed, thus, to honey-bathe
and sweetness-bearing work, its teeth alive
to saps that cling and clutch to well-survive
the journey from lip of jar to buttered bread.
Such blessings spread like rain on garden bed
and are just as welcome as treacled noon
ascending high above the stem and head
of an applewood, slow-spun, hive-shaped spoon.

You are both very clever and very inventive.

What a lovely way to describe the honey dipper.

Thank you! I have been wanting to do a concrete poem but have been looking for the right image. Minor's candle making kit came with a honey dipper and I like the shape.

That is so cool! I love the visual creativity.

Thank you! I am glad you like it.

BTW, I am slowly making my way through Sonnets from the Portuguese. I'm about one-forth in.

That's about how far in I am, too! I've read it before many times, but it's been awhile.
