Premium MemberPizza Fritta

Grandma Teresina Cavicchio, best pizza fritta maker in all of Marianna, PA. Probably the whole world! Her fried pizza dough, dusted with powdered sugar, bellissima! Lightly browned outside, creamy in the inside, it was the stuff of mouth-watering dreams. My three sisters and I lined up in Nonna’s kitchen, chanted, “Pizza Fritta, good to eat-a, give me some, it is a treat-a!” Her apron white with snowy sugar, her ample arms coated in flour, she never failed to please us. Though I’ll never have Nonna’s pizza fritta again, I picture St. Peter and the angels, powdered sugar moustaches, greasy lips and beatific smiles, gathering round Nonna. "Pizza fritta, good to eat-a, give us some, a heavenly treat-a."


Premium MemberStunk

My grandma once de-skunked a skunk

Premium MemberCover Story

Sloth is the deadliest of sins
    or so my Grandma told me
But spying me in a book again,
    Helpless! She couldn't scold me!

Premium MemberDunking Cookies While It Rains

Yum!
Sugars and butter -
cream them together.
White and brown mix ‘round.
Flour, salt, baking powder,
vanilla…fond scent…
add chips, scoop, wait - while they bake.

choc’late chip cookie
broke in half into his cup -
splash of milk in eye

grandma and grandson munching on cookies
our laughs are grand too…splashes
occur in and outside ;)

grandma runs off…he asks:
“are you writing a poem?”
“Of course!” she winks,
as he washes the milk from his eye.

Premium MemberDo Not Fall Down

Do Not Fall Down



Falling down, simply terrific 
for the young!
For the elderly, no, as our springs have
indeed, been totally, sprung.

I took a big spill on Halloween,
And now I am known as the Poetess
ala Wheelchair Queen?

Feel like I finished a boxing round with 
Mike Tyson.
Me, a pummeled, poetic. baby byson!

Premium MemberYou Are Not Like My Grandma

You are funny the child told me.
I take his word for it
Wondering what he sees
that I have missed

You are not like my grandma he says.
I am not sure how to take this
Until he says how mean she is.
Do you have a grandpa?

Yeah. He is grandma’s son.
I ponder this a second.
You mean your mom and you and your three brothers
live with your mother’s grandmother- your great grandmother?

I know they just brought home twin newborns from the hospital.
I would be mean too.

Premium MemberA Tough Little Bird

A little old lady named Judy,
Works hard to accomplish her duties.
She cooks and she cleans,
Runs errands, makes things,
For friends and for family outings.

Sometimes her arthritis flares up.
She can barely pick up a cup;
But she's no cry baby,
She's one tough old lady.
A hot bath and a pill and she's up.

She'll finish the job 'fore she'll stop.
She loves life and she lives it a lot.
She'll keep going full tilt,
Until she gets kilt,
Or she runs out of gas and just drops.

Premium MemberAffected Art Baby Sitter-

Flickered fingers; Can't dial ringers; Telephone calls; Babies cry and crawls; what do you do? what do you do? When their diapers fall?...

Premium MemberClay

There was an old lady 
who lay in the clay
It hardened like concrete
so there she will stay.

Premium MemberShe Was Born With Cat Ears

She was born with cat ears.
So cute! Everyone lied.
Some of us felt them.
They were striped, and furry.
Odd for a human head.
Gray, pink in the middle.
“Adorable!” some of us said.
“Can they be removed?” the new grandmother asked.
Making her daughter-in-law her enemy for life.

Premium MemberSo Much I Never Saw

Beyond her face
was the most amazing sun
I never saw

For I was too struck by her freckles and the
way her hands moved fast and furiously as she
snapped beans or rolled out noodle dough

Beyond her hair 
were the loveliest clouds
I never noticed

For I was too busy listening to her stories
clever and funny. They made me laugh
Full out 

Beyond her 
I saw nothing else
For she was my world
My grandmother, the one who loved me the most.

Premium MemberThe Small Doll Tall Fall

Opening the nesting doll was an ache           
Overturning it and began to shake    
Was all full of dirt
Got all over my shirt 
It was the urn of grandma, my mistake

Premium MemberSixty Eight Weeks

Conversation with my four-year-old grandson Max.
“I cannot throw the ball one more time, Max. I am old.”
He glares at me. “No, you’re not.”
“I am. I really am.”
I throw the ball ten more times.
“I mean it Max, I have to stop. I am tired. I have a cough.”
“No you don’t.”
“Yes, I really do.”
He comes closer and looks at me hard.
I try to cough, putting myself into an explosive coughing fit.
He gives a couple of fake coughs.
We stare at each other.
“I’ve had my cough for three whole weeks, “ I tell him. 
“How long have you had your cough?”
Brown eyes look at me closely. “Sixty-eight weeks,” he says smoothly.
I keep throwing the ball.

Premium MemberAdvice Today Different Than Maybe Yesterday

So I had to tell her to BLEEP off, Grandma.
She is fourteen, as of forty-six hours ago.
I am shocked.  
I wisely decide to give her some Grandmotherly advice.
Me:  Were there witnesses?
Molly: No.
Me:  Did anyone have their I-phone out?
Molly:  One, but I chased her down and smacked it out of her hand and hit delete.
I reported this conversation to my husband who rolled his eyes
And asked, “How is your Mini-Me?"
