Princess Hair
Her hair was not,
Her crowning glory.
In fact, it brought tears to her
Most every day.
So, she swept it, that day,
All to one side,
Just to get it,
out of the way.
Its frail ends crinkling,
crinkling with old age,
old age and untidiness,all
swept, all swept loosly
in a one-sided long tail.
Her granddaugther,
at the early youth age
of 2
and a half
Saw
her grandmother's face.
She brightened and chirped,
Oh! her voice twinkled,
Princess hair.
I Feel Like I'm Cheating
I feel like I’m cheating,
when I,
use
my granddaughter’s favorite bowl.
I can hear her saying,
"That’s mine, Greema!"
Though she’s miles and miles away.
I smile, and
Use it
gleefully, secretly pleased,
because,
It’s my favorite bowl,
as well.
Coffee Kisses
Yellow tang of sun
Steam speaks soft in chestnut sighs
Dark roasted kisses
beautiful thoughts on
beautiful thoughts on yesterdays
