Remembering the Hot Seat: A Millionaire's Game Poem
The lights dimmed low, a hush descended near, A single spotlight banishing all fear Or so we hoped, a tremor in the hand, Before the host in this enchanted land. The music swelled, a heartbeat in the air, Each rising note, a burden hard to bear. A question flashed, a choice of letters four, A million dreams upon that fragile floor. Remember Regis...

Ivory Letters, Golden Scores: Remembering Scrabble
The worn-out box with letters smooth and cool, A velvet pouch, our linguistic pool. Ivory tiles each bearing worth and weight, A family ritual sealing our wordy fate. The wooden board, a grid of squares defined, Where double letters, treasures we could find. Triple words beckoned, a strategic quest, To build our lexicon and put it to the test. Remember the clatter as...

Premium Member Forever Flick
He was holding a football when our eyes first met, seeing beyond our years. Catching the missile, flying, he was surprised. We smiled. We were only six. His name was Flick. That’s what his daddy called him-- when his daddy was around. “We’ll go to school together, we’ll be friends.” Flick was a dreamer! We did become pals, rendezvous after school on the playground with other kids. Derision, syllables...

Premium Member THE ROBIN'S SONG
And if my words were for you Singing of your beauty as the robin's song Would not time be both yours and mine And all of life be ours? And if I wrote all poems for thee No other loves be thine Would our dreams find winds upon their sails And all things blessed be ours And if with time our days grew...

Premium Member Remembering my Grandparents
A good man is hard to find, just as my Nana always said. That day, I witnessed tears in her eyes as she firmly stuffed the monthly tithe into the envelope and headed to church that Sunday morning. Earlier, she had been rightfully screaming at my granddad for hours. She was furious with the old...

THEY TOO WERE WORTH REMEMBERING
How do these women cut with their bare hands- their surrounding net? Well, I refer to- Jane, Margaret, Aphra, Virginia and Charlotte, Who are well known even without their surnames, And who were well-versed in the field of Literature; to play all kind of games! The female embodiment of grace, In the field of writing in which they all were...

Forgetting Me, Remembering You
Guilt over resolution, Guilt over change— Guilt over accepting, That no matter how hard I tried, I’d always be the one to blame. Maybe you were meant to. Maybe I was the one who was bruised— All I know, Is your choices hurt me, More than they hurt you. Now that I’m gone. Now that I’ve left— You’ve chosen to forget me, A choice I had hoped you’d...

If I were twenty years younger I would have spent the last three days outside doing yardwork And I would have loved it! Seventy-three is not fifty-three I meander and limp now, there is arthritis in my ankles My hands are no longer clipper-cutting-strength-ready Things I used to do are implausible now My advice to you is this – stay young as...
