Granma's Porch

As Freshly Laundered Linens
Secured By Pins On a Back Yard Clothes Line
Airing Out In Daisy Aromatic Breeze
Set to Dry Under The Friendly Not too Hot Sun!
I Sigh, For this is All In My Mind
Sitting on My Granma's Front Porch
In Refuge From the Grueling Rays
Urging Me to Bare My Thoughts and Pen What I'm Thinking
Front Porch Resort, High Noon, Anti Sun Bathing
Dehydrating My Will For any Outdoor Frolicking
I Sigh, For While I Sit In The Shade
Cool Northern Breeze Blithely Tickles Laughing Leaves
Birds Chirping Chapters About Disappearing Honey Bees
Propound Is the Scenery and Serenade
Convenient Atmosphere For Shadow Work In the Shade
I Penned, I Sigh
I Think When I Pen and Pen What I Think
Seated On Granma's Old Wooden Porch Chair
The Chair She Once Sat On, She Ascended and Left Her Earthly Effects Here
I Sigh, Sometimes I Shed a Few Tears
Empty Nested, Time Tested
Constant Gratitude for Granma's Love And Energy Invested
All of Nature Singing A Song I Wish To Remember
Chorus Of Natural Equilibrium And Profound Splendor
I Sigh, Audibly In Silent Relief, Nature's Song Soothing Grief 
As the Sun Sets, I Am Soothed, Settled, Nested in Peace.

Dear carlene, i can feel the depth of grief that youv expressed with metaphors and descriptive diction here, im sure your grandmas proud of you and all that you are. I really felt especially the lines “ The Chair She Once Sat On, She Ascended and Left Her Earthly Effects Here I Sigh, Sometimes I Shed a Few Tears Empty Nested, Time Tested Constant Gratitude for Granma's Love And Energy Invested“ i can imagine, how i would feel when my granma ascends, sigh! Sending you light always
