These poems are based on a frame by Edip Cansever, a Turkish poet. The poem relies on lists of literal and metaphorical items. First we put down physical items, then memories of the day, finally we lay down things swirling around in our minds. What would you put on your table?
- Blizzarding Snow
- In My Head
- Not Appropriate for School
- The Bad Day
- Not Appropriate for School
- Falling Asleep
- Every New Day
- The Dumping Chair
- The Morning Comes with Me.

- Thoughts and Worries
- Thoughts
- My Bed My Life
- Her Old School
- The Chair in the Hall
- My Table Of Thoughts, Feelings and Things.
