First PoemsNanna traces finger-rhymes around my hand:
tickling poems.
Pictures in my sister’s book
speak poetry, and I want her book
to be mine.
Miss Fernside points to words
beside her drawings
on the easel;
I love Miss Fernside.

The Sea in my roomAs a child,
with my Nanna,
making the bed -
waves of sheet
crash,
underneath is cool -
dark,
need to breathe,
roll on the carpet-beach,
watch the white-surge
flapping, snapping, falling
up and down
up and down
calming, resting
smelling sunshine.

The Great Indian KitchenIn my kitchen's grasp, where spices hop free,
Whispers of our memories, in each recipe.
Khichdi's humble grace, a bow to our roots,
In grains and lentils, tradition assent.
Herbal notes linger, a fragrant ballet, a scenic design.

A most lucky day to enjoy,
You are a double grandma now.

Or any other kind of fruit

From a Passionate Swain a Straightforward Declaration of Love Is MadeI love women who gracefully dance
And sweetly sing; and women who
Avidly read and who brilliantly think;
I love women who love to love—
And who despise to hate—and who
Receive and give of themselves, as well....

Grandmother's SongFirst look at
Grand Canyon
eternity’s birth
Your eyes changed
forever
in awe of its girth
All words into
whispers
each view but a gift
Alive in its
legend
— unchanged in its myth

A Grandmother Remembering
Where have all the moments gone,
As fresh as a summer breeze!
That kissed newborn, fresh, emerald
leavees on Chicago’s trees.
Whatever became of my expansive,
Blond desk, that smelled of fresh wood?
Or, my white and black saddle...

It had words from the depth of...

Grandma SkatesGrandma can do it! Henry insisted.
No one else knew it, but he persisted.

She was terrific, her moves were all gold.
She’d won the skating Olympic gold medal...
