Tabled, As Always

They all took their seats round the table,
It had no head, but all knew where Power sat.
Summoned in haste by Ideology itself,
for the matter was pressing and oddly stressing.

Capitalism sat back—legs crossed, arm draped,
already reclined like comfort was inherited.
Feminism adjusted her seat,
raised it two inches—just enough to be noticed.
Consumerism fumbled with six filled bags,
Communism leaned

Tabled Fall Flowers

tabled Fall flowers
tremendous bloom of color
unnatural vase
the horticulture of cards
opens recipients’ smiles

Multiplication, Tabled

Multiplication, Tabled
by Michael R. Burch
 
Be fruitful and multiply”—
great advice, for a fruitfly!
But for women and men,
simple Simons, say, “WHEN!”

Tabled Destiny

Tabled Destiny
             by Odin Roark

Life's tsunami starts way back
the shifting tectonics of time
re-form yet another evolution
one's bargained death wish in disguise

Most know not

when spilled milk begins to teach
when failure trumpets wisdom

From cradle to grave
we're taught
you can't have that
preschool
elementary
middle
high
higher
ahhh
the onion skin admission

Tabled Scraps

high priority insecurity
gastro-growling, 
a peckish fling
in the food desert - 
not dessert - desert
this lip service 
don't a mouth fill

maybe one of five
on the sleigh's edge 
gazing at the growling wolf 
of slowly going down,
ground down into an 
early grave ground

raw capitalism just 
too hard to digest
so fasting though 
good for the soul 
distracts from

Tabled

we tabled it
we sat it down, 
laughter and love
expressed gratitude,
passed it around,
around the table

let us now
as we are able
take this time
its taste sublime
at the table
...mmmm...

2 Times Tabled .

Aunt Doris was feeling poorly .
I did not know what to say .
So ,I gathered all her friends around ;
And we had a Doris Day .
But Gladys got the pip and sulked
Saying it was not right.
So we stretched out celebrations
To have a Gladys Knight.
We had great fun in the July sun
A Donna Summer to enjoy.
But
