A Place At The Poet's Table Poem by Susan Lacovara

A Place At The Poet's Table

Rating: 5.0


You graciously opened up
Your many mornings
And let me in
To sit at your global tables
Sentences and stories
Poured warm
As a well steeped tea
You nourished me
With the kindness
Of breaking bread
Thereby breaking down barriers
Of distance and dialects

You fed me sweetly full
With the syrup of acknowledgement
Acceptance into a community
Where pen and ink are tools
Not weapons
Where no one should hunger
To be heard

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
(11/09/17) For all those, kind enough to reach out to me, after reading not only the poem I was humbled to have selected as Member Poem Of The Day, but who have leant their continuous support and shared thoughts on my simple offerings...It is a joy and a privilege to be within this beautiful global community of creative artists. I rightfully thank each and every one of you. And without hesitation, I wish you PEACE and PURPOSE in your every days. I consider it MY honor to call you friends. Within our poems, we shorten the miles and bridge our differences. Much love and gratitude.
