Onto dampened generations

Heavy clumps of white fall
from the grey sky
landing on wooden limbs,
weighing them down
like dark skeletons
bent under the burden
of generations of sorrow

Senryu On Squash Or Pumpkin Patch

I
one seed, so wise
to hide generations of pumpkins
forest of leaves

spread out - small garden -
blind tendrils grasp non-leaves

For four generations at least,
they’d carried ‘round that ball of yeast.
Tucked there ‘twixt the thighs,
it made their bread rise;
their pans never had to be greased!

Pen me when I’m down
Open my heart when I’m heart-broken
Eulogize my creativity when I spit words of wisdom
Mention me to generations yet to be born because I’m a legacy

feels the warm pulse of guidance

toddler on a swing
giggles flowing out like hiccups
grandmother's heart soars to the rooftops
two generations loving each other
experiencing the joy of life
on a windy autumn day

Feather pen fluttering, ink spilling grandmotherly perspective.
Circumspect of future generations; the Jetsons in flight.
Drones may carry the message, but hands-off to AI robots.

Generations defined by music
And the uniqueness of their dress
The 50’s lassoed my heart
So thrilled with rock and roll
I also love jazz
Invented by
Risk-taking
And Brave
Youth
