What No Teeth Grandma

the dried apple-headed
grandma poppet smells
cinnamony*   
appearing toothless               

grinning                               
dressed                               
in calico*

Robert Johnson September 24, 2012 at 9:39 AM Autumn's winds welcome winters freeze. When Grandma's head falls from the trees. Ashes to ashes, dried apple's and all. Roten to the core at the end of fall.
