My aunties best sweater

She had her best sweater,
though youve never seen her worst,
it werent much better than her Tuesday best.
Though there was a good vibe about her wearing it.

a warp speed to her existence,
George Lucas signed 1977 star wars sweater.

Aunties Colors

Her colors are outrageous the grays and tans said.
I loved them myself, so thought they were off in their head.
The other kids loved Auntie’s slather of gorgeous hues too.
For blah beige-type colors we truly wanted to give a loud boo.

Auntie’s house was full of giggles, play, happiness and fun.
We loved everything about her, she had

Aunties Apartment House For Women

Her apartment house was shaped like a tall woman’s boot.
I could see why she chose to live there, it did in fact suit.
Her disposition, her opinions, her ideals and her attitude.
Being inside with her, reading, put me into a powerful mood.

Women power forever! My assertive, opinionate Aunt Bertie said.
She had the attitude of Rosie the

Aunties Tomato Greenhouse

Aunties Tomato Greenhouse

  Walk up to the greenhouse,
  Step inside the door,
  There's a forest of tomato plants,
  Wander around, have a look and explore.
  Look left, then look right,
  Then at the ceiling to the floor,
  Surrounded by tomato plants,
  There is tomatoes galore!

A Rubbing of Hands

Elsie, Lucy, Olive, this small boy's remarkable old aunts.
Oh, how they rubbed their hands.
But with glee or sorrow? Or even anger?

Elsie had a strict-looking expression - 
when not rubbing her hands.
Lucy wore spectacles that pinched her nose
and, oh, had such a thin smile -
when not rubbing her hands.
Olive seemed serious, often frowning at me -

My Aunties Giraffe Vase

I always wanted my auntie’s giraffe vase that held flowers.
It was given to me on a day where the sky filled with showers.
I brought him home and filled him up with posies fine.
Thrilled in every direction that he was finally and truly mine!

An Aunties Wedding

An Aunties Wedding

There was an empty Players box 
flattened beneath the dancers
a scent of receding tide on the quay
swept, green, slick as hair oil 
bound by ginger sideburns
your dress shaped like a rocket to the moon
a wigwam to play in days before the day
I was five in a white wool suit
bony kneed refused to board

Perfect Aunties

When I was growing up, my Dad
had some quaint old fashioned notions
of what a good girl should or shouldn’t do.
I didn’t want to make him sad
I tried so hard to please him.
But dear old Daddy didn’t have a clue.
Sometime I slipped a little and

“My sisters Cass and Annie
