“Can you please pass the cream?”
Cousins sit
interspersed with siblings,
parents,
children,
new in-laws.
Like a collage,
conversations overlap —
cities,
decades,
generations.
Mixing memory
and laughter,
storytelling reigns.
“Do you need sugar too?”
Favorite line: storytelling reigns.
You captured a family meal so well!!

Such succinct imagery- “cousins interspersed with siblings… like a collage, conversations overlap”… how I yearn for the next family reunion. Beautiful writing!

This slice reminds me of a picture book titled, “We had a picnic last Sunday.” You captured the joy of being together and how a family can grow and enjoy time together!

My favorite part is the center verse; a collage of cities, decades, generations. And framing it with the cream and sugar is such a lovely craft move. Just beautiful.
