Table Talks

Routine raindrops gleaned from our dining den
watered well the roots of cordial conversation -
table talks in our Kansas kitchen. 
Stems sprouted with buds of daily dialogue
family folklore…  nightly news.
Mom firmly forbade motormouth magpies;
we country kids flowered with vocal verve.
