(Hmmmm, she says with a twinkle, could this poetry practice be my next mandala-like craze? )
............................................
Life lessons passed down
from mother to daughter
working side by side
all hearts are watered
Stoves, sinks and countertops,
classrooms disguised as kitchens
bodies and souls are nourished
while washing the dishes
Even at funerals and weddings
womenfolk will gather
to witness and share
their news, tears, and banter
Easily summed up like this:
at the end of the day
what attracts them together
are the deep connections made
and, yes, of course, the laughter.
