Place Settings
Chosen words
Set beside one another
In careful arrangement
Like place settings
At a fancy dress dinner party
Making sure each individual
Has something in common
With the one beside it
So conversation becomes
Easy and eloquent
There is no disparity
Here all are welcome
And given a seat
At the table

DeleteI love the sense of harmony. This is a perfect response to the prompt, and a very good reminder before the holidays. Feasting should be about enjoying one another's company in harmony.
ReplyDeleteThere's always some very animated conversations around our dinner table and a lot of laughter. :)
DeleteNicely done. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteSo much of our life is arranging things so that they interact in an interesting way with their surroundings. And that is also how the universe is made -- specific particles interacting with the fields around them.
ReplyDeleteRight. It's never one thing working in isolation but rather a collection influencing each other.
