My Grandpa's Specs

As I remember Grandpa's face the thing that comes first to my mind his rimless specs with thick lenses it was a unique thing of its kind. The thing that comes first to my mind his hanging specs at tip of his nose it was a unique thing of its kind at its place even with eyes closed. His hanging specs at tip of his nose always there throughout the day at its place even with eyes closed "precious thing" he used to say. Always there throughout the day it was frequently forgotten by him "precious thing" he used to say creating chaos with his scream. It was frequently forgotten by him his rimless specs with thick lenses creating chaos with his scream as I remember Grandpa's face. © 2011 kashinath karmakar(31st July 2011) ===============000================ Placement:3rd; (August 2011) Contest:Memories of Grandma/Grandpa or both Sponsor:Carol Brown

Very sweet poem about your grandfather's glasses, Kash. It's easy to forget they're there. I have two pairs -- one for reading and one for driving. When I drive to a store, I usually forget to take off the distance glasses and can't see anything up close. You really do pantoums well, my friend! Great entry for Carol's contest. Love, Carolyn

Good luck in the contest with this one about the grandpa that needed those glasses to seen things up close..I bet that he read some and read his "Bible" with those glasses at the end of his nose..I am glad that I chose this one to read this afternoon..Sara
