Never say that she is dead
We will not say that she is dead. We have never said that she is dead. We will never say that she is dead. We’ll say she’s in heaven We will say she passed away We tell the children she went to God’s house And became an angel on the way. We say she’s gone We say she died But none...

Make Memories or Score Points
Good times and fitness In albums, so witnessed Score nil on the test That determines one’s ‘rest’. It pays to boost odds Through praises to G-d, Kindness to a spouse When inside the house; Be noted Above For doling out love And enrich one’s ascent On the charity spent. The grandkids may place On the mantle, your face Then move on, past the shelf, To make memories of self....

Neatness and Godliness
Every picture I’ve seen of you as a child, You wear your hair in plaits. A stern middle parting and two dark brown braids Falling down on each shoulder. A maypole’s dream. You would do your best to wash them when you could, When shampoo was available, Or even in the single, small bathroom. You would vigorously scrub your face too With...

The Fair in My Heart-Ode to My Grandparents
I was just a girl of six or seven, Stubborn, wild, yet touched by heaven. Mornings woke with fairs in bloom, Joy would dance in every room. Only from Nani’s hands I’d eat, Her love was warm, her touch was sweet. We'd stroll through lanes with hearts so light, The world felt safe, the sky so bright. But if she left for work...

I Am From pt2
I am from sitting in the front row church pew I never wanted to be in twice. The genuine smiles in the photos on the memory board were oh-so-different from The ones we plastered on at the American Legion and the Irish pub There we gulped bottomless Shirley Temples and spent twenty dollars on darts. All to distract ourselves...

Visiting
He planned on moving out This place that held the living dead These halls that magnified the screams His wristband said otherwise Trapped here for life Though it would be a temporary stay In a way You could tell from the state of his mind And the stare of his eyes That he didn't have to wait too much longer To leave these haunted halls He...

Premium Member Aarohi in the Becoming of Agent Aaro
Aarohi, it took me so long to meet the tiger inside me. It took me so long to let the sparrow inside me go. Now that I can sing out like a thunderstorm, I hope that you can hear the determination you come from; I hope you know that you are not a limitation. You are the fearless agent prowling in the...

Premium Member Remembering my Grandparents
A good man is hard to find, just as my Nana always said. That day, I witnessed tears in her eyes as she firmly stuffed the monthly tithe into the envelope and headed to church that Sunday morning. Earlier, she had been rightfully screaming at my granddad for hours. She was furious with the old...
