That is a wonderful thought about the kitchen is where the mundane and sacred can be found. You've detailed many mundane family activities beautifully in your poem about the kitchen, where love and peace can be found in a safe haven - sounds sacred to me. Experts get it right sometimes.

That's a lovely way to describe a kitchen with your rhyming diatelle!! My favorite lines were:
Love, kitchen chair,
safe haven
To me, the kitchen is the heart of the home.

A very well done and quite enjoyable poem to those who have memories of kitchen gatherings and for those whose kitchens were mundane it feeds the imagination with warm images.
Best wishes

Some of my most memorable times were spent at the dinner table, or supper, depending where you're from. And Sunday lunch was something nobody wanted to ever miss. Thanks for bringing back those thoughts!

    Hehe, yes! In our neck of the woods, it was dinner. Mm, I can imagine the Sunday lunches you remember, Ric. The good old days. Thank you, again, for taking time to read and for the nice review!

This is a hard rhyme scheme to keep and you did it well. It is true that the kitchen is always where people seem to wander during family get togethers, Even when we are not eating. This is the good thing about open concept living everyone always seems to be in the same room.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

I love a Diatelle form, love its shape, and you did a great job on this one.

Kitchen is indeed one of the most important places in the house. It's where delicious meals are prepared, where families get together for conversations, sharing and laughter. And where mandane turns into special.

Well done, thank you for sharing.
