Book Club Poem - Slice of Life Challenge

I have attended two different book clubs in as many nights.  I value the time I spend with both of these groups on so many levels.  Where else can you gather and manage to talk about books, solve all the world's problems, laugh until your sides hurt, have a favorite beverage, and eat amazing food?  I am so fortunate to be part of both of these groups, so I am dedicating this attempt at a poem to all of the women in my book clubs.

Book Club

smart women sharing

and reveling in the power of words

gathered round a table or counter

brimming with goodies to eat and drink

 joined together by love of books

 equally content

to address personal matters

or share how we might run the world

 collecting great titles

for future reading

the books and the companionship

both hold equal value for all

As always, thanks to Stacey and Ruth at Two Writing Teachers for hosting the Slice of Life Challenge!
