In Descise

My second grade grandson’s a writer,
His stories creative and fun,
With spelling that’s just as creative
As the story he’s joyfully spun.

Most often I’m quick to decipher
The words that I don’t understand
But sometimes I’m stymied by letters
Not quite what the books would demand.

So today I resorted to asking 
What word was in front of my eyes.
The obvious answer (to someone)
Was, “Nana - of course, it’s disguise!”

My very first attempts at writing happened when I was in high school – a space story. Only in college did I start writing poetry, most of it derivative, especially the English romantic poets, Keats and Wordsworth in particularly; then Rilke (German was my minor). / Maurice
