Thanksgiving tableau
family gathered
by the grace of God.
Heads bowed in prayer,
for this meal they share,
thankfully aware.

| Writing Prompt |
Write a tableau poem, which consists of one or more verses (for this contest just one verse) each having six lines. Each line should have five syllables. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau. Since the dictionary states that the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture should come to mind as the poem is read.
For example:
Winter tableau
Not a sign of wind -
A single snowflake
Descends into view;
I search the bleak sky
For just a few more
And breathe in winter
Margaret R. Smith
