Short Ava Poems

Peeling the Sun
squeezing the seeds
planting sunflowers
so you can taste the
sunshine

A starlet who once thrilled the cops
Developed some droopy jowl chops
A Facebook beauty
She's still a cutie
Thanks to software filters and crops...

Shallow finger bowl
shines blue in the kitchen sun
holding sacred gifts.
Once thought of as weeds, and pulled.
Now, floating flowers, treasured....

Yet another piss-poor dinner produced
No wonder her sex-life has been reduced
Ava needs something to give her a boost
   Eyes the doctor ~
   Please prescribe my husband me to seduce...

Moonlight shines in bright
and I pick a rose,
a daisy,
and give it to my mother
All the time
when I do
it makes her smile~
All the time
when I want her love
In the night.

Ava, today....

Clear below the sea
Clear beyond the sea
it fished across the pond.
You don't have to name it, but call it Ava Lu.
It is my kind, the shore is blue.
Happened this and happened that
It went over to shout the wind......

Ava was an energetic child,
At times you could even call her wild.
She'd climb the highest tree,
Then like a chimpanzee,
She would swing limb to limb as she smiled.

Christmas eve is here,
Do not fear,
Santa will appear,
Sleep sweetly my dear.

Christmas eve is a fun time,
Don't worry about the time,
The harder times are on their way,
Walk on slowly it'll be okay.

rain comes down we're not so glad
spoils the picnic plans we had
but we see the beauty there
arching upward through the air
    Ava says lets take a walk 
through the raindrops,have a talk
of the beauty rainbows bring
so i find i love the rain....

AVA!
He calls out.
AVA!
He mightily calls out.

A ceremony for guests,
A ceremony for society.

The groomed formality,
The unity,
The shared mount.
AVA!
He calls out.
AVA!
We welcome.

AVA= kava drink / welcome ceremony

tiny chiklets of laughter
on the air
fireflies flicker in her hair
she's kissing the roses
with color sublime
it's her job to finish
before blooming time
The princess of fairies
is waiting to play
just outside your window
come start a new day...

Snowy, white, crystal fields,
Trees no longer give the fruit it yields,

Honey bees,
Blossom trees,

Morning sun,
Cherry bun,

Trick or treating,
Sneaky eating.

4 seasons,
Without reasons,
Every year,
A year without fear.

Every time I go
to the place we know
I get sad inside 
and i want to hide

when i think of you 
and the things you do
I want to run away
break down and cry

And Its a thrill
But it kills
and we're still
not anywhere

and i know that we're not going soon
but i don't care.

C-limbing up the volcano
E-levates your mirth; 
L-et Friday tenth of March make you glad on your birth.

O-ne step upward brings
R-apture to your view; 
L-ava from the perfect cone
I-s fading into the blue.
N-ice to see from the top down to cities below; 
A-llow your eyes to enjoy while climbing up the volcano....

Cheeky cheeky bugalug 
Yes my heart strings you do tug
Deep inside your part of me
Nannas love you'll always see
Remember this as you grow
My love will shine and forever show
Poppy yes he loves you too
There's nothing wrong you'll ever do
In our eyes you are our world 
Our beautiful little baby girl


Our first granddaughter...

I love you and I hope for none
When will you receive a kiss
for then and now I give you my hopes
and none to be for love.
And wise and springs
and air coming through the windows
to cool down the sift of imagination
To winters above and little tiny balls
like in the sunshine rising
to be gone for the loss in nature
of us all.

Maka vaisa muhapwa dzenyu
Muka vanyepera kuti
Havana vamwe vabatsiri
Kunze kwenyu ne mapenzi.

Iko zvino vaputirwa
Muhapwa dzenyu;

Vovenga vasina kuvatadzira,
Vama katadzira imi.

Ndiko kubata kwe ruoko rwenyu
Kutsvaka ruvengo pasina
Kufananidza zvaka siyana
Ne kusiyanisa zvaka fanana.

Sunungurai vana ava
Vaone Chiedza!

Hello blue skys nice to see you again,

I can now see clouds and tiny jet planes.

The sun is high up too high to touch too hot to clutch,

Oh how I wish I could feel that burning, magnificent ball of fire.


Snow, its sad you've gone,

But you had to go,

You had your time, you had your roll,

This was the final destination.

Java helps keep me warm on those frigid days
Always a time to reflect back and try to start over
Now the days are starting to get longer!
Until it’s warmer, I will binge watch Netflix
A month to start planning spring plantings
Reading several novels, writing poems and staying warm
Yes, I dislike winter and can’t wait until Spring!

Happy Birthday, Ava Grace,
I hope a smile adorns your face.
Today's the day to celebrate you,
All you are and all you do.

On this day you came to be,
A precious member of our family,
So tiny, you were like a doll,
But now you're ten and getting tall.

I hope you have the best of days,
Filled with laughter and sunny rays.
May you always know that we love you,
And pray that all your dreams come true....

They call me Ava
I disagree
I say I’m Kovah
But they don’t know me
They say I’m too eccentric
And I expect too much again
They say changing is chaotic
And I’ll get no respect from them
I think they’re being silly
But if they want to call me names;
“Don’t call me Ava
Call me havoc with a ‘k’
I am Kovah
And I am they”
I say the words and in the air they hang
Undisturbed and untouched
By the agents of change...

Once there was a nest
high in a tree
where no one could even reach it
of course
In that tree was a little bird
who knew everything
that his mom said to do
because his mom said it in a way
that he could hear in his egg
For that, he giggled 
when he hatched.
He was not able to fly
but he was able to walk
He walked to his mom
and they lived happily ever after
and never went anywhere without each other.

The End

And I remember
The stair from the restroom up
To classroom there
And I climbing desolate and bare
Of meaning for the coming
Manhood to my loins
I remember
How the lights out 
Suddenly 
And your tongue throbbing
Against the hunger of my mouth
All night I laid on my back
And replay, and replay your kiss again
The way I do today
For there was none before you
And what would become
Of your infidelity
Had death been less faithful
In your mouth too?...

Mesmerized, she stood still...observing 
Unsure of what to expect next 
She is scared but not afraid 
Shall I pet him, she asks herself 
Will he fly away if I move 
Warmth is the only thing the butterfly feels 
Shall I fly away, he asks himself 
Will she run away if I fly 
As they both stare - frozen 
Danger never exists  
They share a wonderful moment 
Beauty unfolds 



This is my granddaughter Ava Rose. 
My daughter captured this beautiful moment....
