Nora Nills sought to be a nurse
A desire that proved a curse.
Most of her patients died
Which made Nora decide
To take a job driving a hearse.
North West England gripped
Wallace, Gromit full of quips
on everyone's lips
Netflix chiefs ask Who's Nora...
why was this poor woman flipped?

Monocrostic (Birthday of Nora S. Cunanan)
Spilled paint on the clouds
Nora pulling at the strings
The kite an autumn letter
Caught upon the wind
It dips in the dusk colors
As though never to come down.

Seaguls are flying
Javed and Nora are no
more
To see the surging tides
The two broken boats
are now
Buried deep in the dry
sand.

There once was a cute chick named Nora,
Who preferred to dress up in angora,
But her boyfriend got sick,
To her clothes allergic,
Now she won’t wear a thing but her aura.

ODE TO NORA
Never been encountered,
desire so much desired
On the verge of being so wanted,
attractiveness becomes attraction
Ravished at natures’ skills,
compatibility made so compatible
Acclaimed with the right appeal,
lust turns to love!
C-ouple in lifetime love
E-mploys trust in all things;
S-weet symbol of their union
A-pplies the wedding
R-ings.
&
N-uptial vows and oaths are all
O-rganized by God above;
R-emain together forever
A-s couple in lifetime love.

gorgeous pink castle with rainbow unicorn
glittery dazzling flakes of winter beauty
sparkle as they flutter down over and over
shaken by Nora, a delighted princess
she revels that she can hold her kingdom in her hands
smiling as her ballerina dances in rhythm to the floating flakes
snow globe magic enticing an eight-year-old girl
Little Nora and Grandpa Bill
sit on swings in Grandma’s garden.
A hummingbird arrives to sample
the brilliant flowers at this buffet.
Grandpa Bill sees a teaching moment
and asks little Nora with a smile
if hummingbirds have beaks or bills.
Little Nora has a teaching moment,
says, “Grandpa, they have straws."

She had blue eyes, but she was mean
I am speaking of Nora, the pirate queen
She tried to recruit the cousins, including me
I ran from her, for she was always nasty you see
I heard the only recruits that she could find
Was one willing dog and a cat who used to be mine
The cat was mean too, so this made sense to me.
Last I knew they were heading out to sea.
Hairy Nora reads the Torah from daybreak until dusk.
She’s got four different colored legs, but not a single tusk.
There’s a birdie sitting on her back that moves and sways like Elvis,
Her ears are crinkly when they’re pressed and there’s a mirror on her pelvis.
Now I’ve been almost everywhere on my old rusty bike,
But an elephant like Nora, I have never seen the like.
She wouldn't want to bore ya,
but there's something about Nora.
Things physical, not audi
fly away from her body,
Fail to nail the counter,
hit the deck all around her--
A zillion spills to mop up:
coffee grinds, egg shells, & catsup.
"Magnificent Uncoordinated
Movements," an old boyfriend said,
In and out of bed. Still, There
Was Something About Nora.
She evens the score:
a spoonful of applesauce meant for the mouth
hits the floor.
She's famous for a lack of aplomb,
applesauce -- a time bomb.
She gives you the dropsies,
objects that fly, no reason why.
Scary thoughts that come unbidden,
hers alone. I will not own.
Crossing Nora? Don't try it.
You'll live to decry it.
She's whatever haunts you,
seems to want you, but
send white light.
She fades from sight.
she changed
No, she grew
she learned
she earned
she healed
she understood
she chose herself
she set boundaries
she prioritized herself
she stopped explaining
she stopped chasing
she embraced solitude
she honored her truth
she reclaimed her voice
she softened and stayed strong
she loved herself loudly
she became her own home.
"Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim."
— Nora Ephron
Snapdragons Crackle
Snapdragons crackle
in the air for Maura
and her flowing gait,
a swagger neither Nora
nor Maureen would ever
let a suitor savor.
Maura knows
that in her wake
men with scythes
and burlap sacks,
creep like gators,
eyes afire, jaws agape.
Nora and Maureen
can smell these men.
Unlike Maura
and her flowing gait,
Nora and Maureen will smile,
take their time and wait.

Lumber Jack likes his pancakes with kernels of sweet Iowa corn
Freshly picked out of his Great Grandma Nora’s garden
She spoils him by warming up his maple syrup and melting his butter.
He is a forty-six-year-old great grandson who lives at home
With his mother’s grandmother,
a kind hearted woman whom he carries from room to room
because at ninety-six her legs stopped working.
She does for him, and he does for her.
It is the best relationship he has ever had.
Nora told no one of her plan.
She had been secretly attending college for four years.
She did not expect to see anybody there except her friend Sug.
Sug could not keep a secret. She had told the press.
When Nora walked across the stage she heard “There’s grandma!”
The audience had been told to hold their applause.
Her relatives could not do it; there were tons of them.
The entire audience seemed to cheer for her.
At ninety-eight-years young, Nora felt like a celebrity.
Avril lavigne didn,t get any awards , win Nora jones got seven from sum
Wackoe judging boards ! It makes it hard 4 avril , 2 let her colors show !
And after Blair witch two , wair did tristine skylar go ?
Sum people say , she,s hanging out with Erica Kane ,
Ime so glad she didn,t take ride on Peter tomarken,s aero plane !
Peter tomarken crashed his plane ! Bob Collins crashed his plane too !
Robert kenneddy crashed his plane . But Darryl Hannah made it thrue !...
A good, strong man she found, but prior grief
consumed her soul, and Nora could not stay.
Pretending her own death, she was a thief
who stole his heart and then ran far away.
Years passed. He looked for her with strong belief
she had not died. How happy was the day
he found her, for her healing had begun,
and Nora’s war with sorrow now was won!
