Kitchen Tables.

Just another observation while reviewing!

The cracked surface lays waste to dust and dirt,

Patterns coloured to ease the mind,

Black and greys sooth every angle,

Sprawled with clutter to hide the bind.

Places for everything and everything it's place,

Take here now not leave and swell,

Grabbing keys that scrape and huddle,

Never looking just hear kitchens bell.

Further now to legs that never sit,

Pasted bolts have eternity in thinking,

Plastic bags lay light with shopping,

Potted flowers overlooking this blinking.

A solid stance for memory and times,

A fire dances in the background to tell fables,

Music skips through the air now sit,

At many a families kitchens tables!

Honesty darlings.

Fascinating subject matter and at this point I spend a lot of time at the kitchen table. I'm not fond of it or my circumstances but I am quite fond of the flow and and meter of this little poem. Pasted bolts that have eternity in thinking. I like that line. If tables could talk.

No doubt the kitchen table also reminds us of the many lives and relations that have gathered together around it ... in the great experience of family. Nice ..

I try to get my kids to sit at the kitchen table. This is what this makes me think of, the hustle and bustle and no one sitting at the table.

I remember at Gran's how everyone always sat around the kitchen table to visit. The TV was turned off, the kids were run outside to play, and the adults would sit around the table and gab. They even managed to carry over that feeling to the old family reunions. "Family" seemed so HUGE then. I think that old kitchen table was the reason; everyone seemed to be so connected and the time around the table renewed those connections.

Indeed, thank you.
