1928-2001Taps   
Taps like at your funeral  final  resting  
place   
Alliswellsafelyrest   
It rained that day  poured down hard as we laid you in the ground   
flag in hand  she stood  alone   
safely rest   
I miss your smile  lonely, angry eyes  the way you held me  strong  on you lap before you lost your leg and lost your soul   
All is well   
And I know you hit her beat her smiled  
until she smiled back at you with those deep set brown, Irish eyes   
smiled  
back  
at you

NanaI was given your hair at birth and your round, broad hips at thirteen.  At five you gave me your little white shall, last piece of home.  I thought it angelic but bland.   
You don't have a face anymore, but a pair of long aged, wind worn hands  that with my great joy you pulled me onto your lap and spake.  That accent, deep true heritage that I, removed, have missed.   
You died I buried my favorite stuffed cat beneath the red blue green blocks  that would become the hovel of a rabbit years ahead.  Death and life entwined by love and literal location.     
You are construc Nana

Weather SystemsYou're doing this all backwards I've been told.  But there can be no backwards if there is no forwards  and no path to walk if there is nothing to walk towards.  
Once more I find myself slipping into the ever present mold  of the how do you say, the everyday, the constant way  of thought that would could should make me smile.  Some nights I plead for you to stay here with me a while  to keep the noise and violent out so that I can lay  here next to you in the not quite there yet silence.  We once spent our lives fighting to be sane  and asking what was the point of being right.  But the Weather Systems

Well I just FAIL

Thu Oct 29, 2009, 1:33 PM
I realized I've been incredibly remiss, considering how much poetry I've been forced to create this semester! I'm in the process of taking the first of four Creative Writing Major classes "Writing of Poetry" which basically consists of all of us writing 12 poems, workshopping them and then turning in eight finished proofs as a final portfolio. And oh the poems I have been writing! The class has been amazingly helpful in forcing me to actually sit down and work on something that I've realized I'm actually really good at. I've once again remembered why I switched majors to English and why I intend to gain an MFA in poetry.
So, without further ado, I shall be posting the products of this semester, and will hopefully be keeping up with this for the rest of the year.
