tiny boy crawled inside
she covered him up
hiding him from the cruel world
never letting him go
he was safe...

Pool
Happy
At grandma’s
Squeals and joy
Run to see new dog
Charlie not there
twenty-one months pure
Sadly has drowned
Hatred now
Toward the
Pool...

her saving grace was the path to the beach
I took it in her honor today
my soul felt revived
and I recognized its therapy...

grandmas and mothers see selves
as they watch their ruthless cubs...

make a string of hearts
as lovely as you can
put them under your pillow
tell the sand man

she did as she was told
her grandma would not lie
but she never did land
the perfect dating guy...

Do you know why us guys have happy faces
Beer is for sale in supermarkets, good gracious
Here in Ontario
A bit backward I know
Even grandmas can get blotto and walk around aimless...

I swear i die when i hear her cry 
She tells me everything is okay but i know she is lying 
Ahe tells me grandmas dying 
And i start crying

buttery dough rolled out by my grandsons
blue cup cuts perfect circles
thin and fat cookies bake

buttercream frosting spread by my pumpkins
sugar pearls and confetti
tangerine spirals, stars

Grandmas in a mild utter confusion
In foolish notion in her delusion
Aboard the ironing board
To catch the surf waves, she roared
In bent knees she went, in her illusion

Grandma mouse was thrilled to at last have Jackie stay over.
She gave him sugar plum sandwiches and cheese cut like clover.
Jackie loved every minute – his grandma was out of sight
Until she read Grimms faerie tales, which scared him all that night....

Gorillas grow growly gruffy grouchy grampas
Giving grateful gremlins grassy growth plates
Glassy glistening glowing glaring glimmers of globes
Groovy grizzly gristleworms gracefully grifting grandmas
Grandiose grimlets grabbing growling gracious grates....

Ageless Summery

a porch screen riddled
by fragmenting noon beacons
     ~~grandmas curtain hangs

chairs rock as handheld
fan waves midst squeaking floorboards
     ~~iced tea drinks glisten

The child was scooped up by her mother.
Her crying stopped upon contact.
The motherless child looked up in wonder.
She did not remember such days.
Her mother had been gone since she was a toddler.
Her father watched her watch them, feeling sad.
It was time for a trip to grandma’s....

Grandma’s button box and first aid kit were both mainstays in the kitchen.
We knew she had everything to help us if we were hurting or itch'n.
