Granny Poems - Poems about Granny

Knots-besotted (too canny for a granny) as sailors go (and they will) of which I am (still) one (when day is done) I can bend a bowline (from stern to stem) with the best of them (just so's you knows... the rabbit out of the hole comes 'round the tree runs then back down goes) and tie (not hit) a reef (or square) so fine or (none...

Abraham born before Jesus They were born holding selfie. They booked flight from the womb Are the children of this generation. They speak louder without sense Yet wiser than Solomon himself They sees beyond their parents With food remnants on their mouth. Right in the womb they ate wheat Before they were born they saw you What is it you know I don't know Says a...

Inject that feisty little woman who now lurks in my spine. I'm going Straight Up Granny, exhibiting my best. Ensuring no...

I walked along route 58 There was Mumbai dreams and Harbor Freight A hippie guy sold sunglasses from a stall One had a rosy tint, I paid 5 dollars, that was all. There was a warning label with it, I threw it away Who needs all the fine print, what could it possibly say? I looked at the traffic, it was...

Life is plainly, totally, undeniably, unfair! Looking in the mirror I screamed, “who stole most of my hair?” I was never Rapunzel, a svelte heroine, locked in a tower, But who dare turned me into Quasimoto’s twin, short and dower? How can I go dancing with my silver amour, Sir Harry Walker? Ghastly obscene ….they would heartily laugh and be...

Pronounced brow with eyes sunken in, her last meal was just medicine, struggle one by one for every respiration, it's as though it's asphyxiation, the only good hand graps the window sill, almost as though she has a regret still, what it may be I do not know, 91 years is a very long go, two sons she has buried before, only to encompass...

Did you have granny glasses with peace signs? I pause, thinking, trying to remember. I know that I had three pairs in the late sixties. My favorite ones had square blue lenses. Another one had smaller oblong lenses, which were green. The third pair had round red lenses. I could not see out of them well, but they were fun to...

Her vined plants strangled her in her sleep We knew it might happen, she sleeps so deep Only ninety-nine, one of the cousins said. We felt bad too that our young grandma was dead.
