This is a joint effort between myself and my sister .

There are languages beneath the words, currents of meaning carrying the thin white foam along. I sit silently at the dinner table, unmoving yet never still, following the step-by-steps; not only of the words, but also of the flick of eyes, the strategic clink of forks on plates, the just-in-time coverings of faces by napkins. It's enough to make me wonder if dinner really is only a time for families to talk, or if it's a time for separate universes to come together, a time for shadow bridges to be built and for messages to be signed across, unspoken but still received, under the ceaseless gaze of the watchers.

It's really beautiful, I'm not really sure to understand the deep meaning but a poem is really personal so I guess it's totally normal. And this is what I like about poetry, you can speculate on a poem for hours. I like the diner allegory, it lets you introduce the real meaning of your poem and makes it more easy to picture. Nice and interesting choice of words, the structure is well-done too, not that I know much about real poetry structure but when I read it, it's fluent and easy to follow. Beautiful poem Poetry and Cokolada! ^^

I think this poem is very well written, but I agree with Flying Melody when it comes to the meaning. I feel like there's a really good set up with a wonderful image but it hasn't been fully realized yet.

One thing: the 'thin white foam' of the second line is slightly distracting to me, since it doesn't seem to tie into anything else, image-wise.

Thank you both. :)

@ : We were trying to aim for another image to go along with "current," like how a fast moving river sometimes has foam along the sides or at the surface.

That's a very cool image, but I might suggest trying to carry that through the entire poem.

Okay. Thanks for reading and especially for offering advice! :)
