Poem: The Dinner Table

The Dinner Table
Pleasant conversation
And good meals
Come together
At the dinner table

Oak of old
Seen many a meal
From scarcity of yesteryear
To rations of days gone by
From the high fat era
To low fat, low calorie
From Missouri to Arkansas to Illinois
My dinner table has seen it all

It never complains
The food is nasty
Or looks gross
It just sits there
Content to hold
Dishes full of food

The dinner table

This was written Spring 2007 for a Creative Writing class in high school and inspired by the family dinners I used to almost every night with my family. The last stanza is in reference to my then 10 year old sister. lol
