Queen Of EmeraldsThe Queen Of Emeralds.
Thy mothers name is victoria! So full of strength and love!
Thy mothers voice is that of a songbird, spirit is of queen of storms.
Thy mothers net is one of safety, not just for me and my siblings, however strong enough for all children of the sea.
Thy mothers passion is of furious pain...

Ode to love a grandmotherAs years go by the more I think
About how one minute I was 5 and now I'm 28,
You watched me grow always been by my side,
Now to think your still here making sure we get by,
Working, and working hard for our family to thrive,
To think you are our rock,
Your like our glue that sticks us...

A Shrunken Head and Other MysteriesIn the book nook I found it—
a face no bigger than my palm,
leathered and silent,
its eyes forever pressed shut
against whatever it had seen.
Grandma said a missionary friend
brought it back from somewhere
halfway around the world.
On the dining room window sill,
a dozen squat green strangers
kept their spines to themselves—
silent travelers from the Southwest
when my dad was still...

Mad DogIt was grandma’s last winter.
I watched her hurry outside
to split enough wood so her old kitchen stove
would burn through the new storm
she felt gathering
along the horizon,
its first eiderdown already afloat
on the twilight
settling over her white garden.
From nowhere
a dog tormented by visions
plunged through the drifts
and laid ahold of her leg.
She hacked half through its neck
and crawled...

She reassured me with an unfamiliar lineGrandma, only you can make me feel all right.
Only you, when you hug me so tight.
Your smile makes the moon shine bright.
Only you can light the darkest night.
"She reassured me with an unfamiliar line"
That sweet, sweet Granddaughter of mine.
Now I am old and frail and insecure.
No longer the person I was before.
Her words '' I...

In Grandma's HouseIn one corner of your room
you’d hung a faded photograph
of Charles Lindbergh and his plane
in sepia
covering
a lighter-colored square of wall
exactly the same size.
He looked so dashing
with his scarf and smile
but his eyes were dark and sad
(like yours)
beneath his aviator’s cap
and it was signed,
“To Mildred.”
Why did...

Hernley Grouses and GripesI wanted a larger sombrero, the spoiled child said.
Weird since she had a ten-gallon hat on her head
That’s all you are getting, her mother said sternly.
But she kept grousing and griping, this child named Hernly.
Her grandmother said “Fine, I will take the hat as my own.”
Hernly had such a fit, she was soon all alone
Except...

My Special Lady
I was in a hurry and could not find my favorite sweater.
My friends had gathered, and I could not find my rubber ball.
It was time to play, and I could not fine my favorite slingshot.
Marbles was my favorite game, and I could not find them.
There were always numerous items that I could not find.
It never...

Great Grandma GertyGreat-grandma Gerty of the family Grim
Threw around threats, controlling them
Threatening to cut them out of her will.
If they drank, smoked, danced or used a pill.
In her eighties they thought it won’t be long
But she is one hundred and two now, still going strong....

Grandma's Stories
Alright everyone, quiet please!
May I tell a tale, I have the perfect story!
Well then sit....cause I'm going to....
Pull up a chair, or on the floor, that will do.
I'm elderly now as things are reckoned,
and I may just forget in the next second.
So hurry up! Find a seat. Be quiet and...
