Laura Alaniz

Dinner at the Millers

Also known as suppertime

Turkey and dressing
Loud and overwhelming
Opinions and food fly
Green bean casserole
Too much laughter
For one little room
Chili and gumbo
Kids are spoiled
Too much attention
As they light up the room
Small portions
Second helpings
Around the table
A soft spoken girl
Learns to speak up
Please pass the rolls

(2014)

Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
