The Tea Table by Chestlyn Draghoender

three sugars with milk
flat shoes and not so much
make-up
just laughing so hard
the simplest little things
are funny
talk about our children
our wedding day
the latest novel
our parents who raised us
to be the woman we are
today, eight woman
around the tea table
in winter

A young, aspiring writer from Cape Town. Chestlyn likes to write poetry.
