The Round Table Poem by Edwina Reizer

The Round Table



There's a table in the round
where great minds used to meet.
Imparted wisdom became its quest
and it became replete
with emanations of the time
of lofty prose and crafty rhyme.

And if I had the chance to sit
I hardly think that I would fit.
For my words are simple of today
and I find it hard to find a way
to sit among these notable ones
who were the literary phenomenoms.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This table refers to the table at the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan, New York which was the meeting place for many poets and writers in the 40's and 50's. It was started by Dorothy Parker whose poetry I admire.
