With hat in hand the truth arrives
Too tired for much ado
They tell us now that grandpa Joe
Had something worse than flu
WEED
a garden of rampant weeds.
my great-grandpa loved
to blow,
and eat,
raw dandelion.

A true story
child owns tomorrow
grandpa hoards yesterday
both ignore today
Did ever I tell you, sweetie,
About my grandpa Tweety?
See how you feel
In a cage, you heel,
While I'm off in Tahiti!
Grandpa was polygamous
Father believed in celibacy
And I'm deliberating on bigamy
Lest I become
A dull thud
in posterity's eyes
The empty chair,
Still sits there,
Though many days have gone,
Since grandpa sat,
Upon its slats,
And smelled the new moon lawn.
My mom remembers visiting his grave for a half an hour
Bringing some fresh dahlias from Trader Joe's (his favorite flower)
A fund of truths
To prosper by.
Of tales, life's. No treasure-store's dust!
The age'd one
For age alone
Is, now, an object of disgust.
My grandpa played in a rock band
playing guitar he gave a hand
he lost his pick
had to think quick
used his nose and made a grandstand
I feel it tugging
Hanging on - It must be huge!
Bluegill, smiles, grandpa
Haiku - For Sara Kendrick's "A Pleasant Childhood Memory" Contest
We recently lost my Grandpa
It took a toll on my Grandma
she took to the bottle
an unstable waddle
tripped on him hiding – such chutzpah!
My first tooth fell out last night
It gave me such a big fright
"Oh, Mommy help me"
Or so soon I will be
With dentures like grandpa, Dwight!
Grandpa slowly fades
there are days he doesn’t know me

Grandpa, why can't I go outside and play
Yesterday seems so far away
Well, my boy, once your hair's all gray
Yesterday's only a memory away
"Do you like grandpa?"
"Yes."
"Do you like Grandpa
or TV?"
"TV!"
"Well,
I don't show TV"
..........
"Do you like Grandpa
or TV?
"Grandpa".
childhood memory
grandpa smoked all his life
throwing butts in yard
lucky strikes he loved
and a beer on occasion
that's a farmer's life
Grandpa, this is really neat ~
So this car's going to drive sideways?
Fix all my toy cars !

Great Grandpa planted lima beans.
A pot of limas and some greens
will always make my day.
It's just a memory away.
I've got limas in my genes.
grandpa is the best story teller
we like it when he goes off book
I cannot quit yawning
But I want to miss nothing
because his tales are that good
Grandpa is taking me fishing.
Don't know if I even like fishing.
I like making him happy!

I still remember
The stories
And laughter
And frustration
We shared
I’ll always remember
You Grandpa for
The good times
For none
Truly were
Bad
boat jam in the early morn
grandpa is in the middle of it
standing on broken storm doors
usual morning routine
he waves to his friends
they race to help
there once was a cow named Daisy
Loved by a child named Maizy
Her sandwich was a delight
‘Til grandpa explained Daiy’s plight
Poor Maizy went quite crazy.
My sweet sweet grandma, beautiful and kind,
May you rest in peace, may happiness you find.
You reunite with grandpa and lightly find the sun,
Love you tons.
