Grammy

I have been having a bit of fun with Hollywoods awards .. this is the last ..and with much respect for Grannies ... the intent is on the Grammy Award

Grammy

sacerdotal women

slow rocking chairs

whistling reams of feels

twirl a fluttered heart

her black Puritanical bonnet

cupped to magnify sounds

to her ears

to her ears, she's so hard to hear

knitting and sitting and

rocking and whistling

everyone's Grammy so sweet

(memories forestall) 

feigning this way then that

she rocks then rolls then

whistles some mo'

as year after year 

her decision unfolds.

dear E... guess I am a North by Northwest gal.., The older classics... stars get older and pass away... but not in our memory. The public is the best judge, but like our politics... does not always work. It is exciting to watch the Grammy's ... getting our insight into their charm and vulnerability. Love your attitude and writing. truly, Pat

Granny's rock. That's why kids gravitate to them.
Though i never met mine. Strangely enough now. Some granny's look better than some young mothers out there.

yes they do! i just watched an 82 yr. old Granny do a parallel bars routine on America's got talent .. she was unbelievable! This poem has failed tho...it is supposed to be a parody on the Grammy Awards ... my last in a series on such awards given in America ... i can see why readers are not making the connection ..i have wonderful memories of my Grand Mother and am so glad i didn't neglect my relationship with her .. so the poem lacks satirical content .. :( but i am glad that readers are seeing all the goodness in family ..thanks for taking time Paul ..much appreciated.

How your words made me smile, then ponder the joy of these precious women who keep the world alive in the rocking and singing and loving. Been so long since my precious grandmothers passed away, but I can still hear them and see them so alive in joy when we went to visit. Thank you for this sweet, sighing ode of life.

i am humbled it had such a marvelous effect on you my friend ... Grandmothers are a huge blessing if one is so blessed to have a relationship with them .. thanks for reviewing and sharing your deep feelings about your Grammy ;)

I do so miss my grandmothers. Yes, they are truly a blessing. Even in memories. :)

I've got to say my Gran was not sweet or lovable but she was the best. She was a matriarch and everybody in the extended family asked how high when she said jump. She was a pub landlady by the way and that probably explains a lot.
But I understand that Grans like the one beautifully described above do exist and we should be thankful for them when they are here. They are not as you so eloquently say here for ever. Even when they are here. That fact is the saddest one of all.

hey Ken .. good to see you sir! thanks for visiting ..i have had gnawing me noodle that i have not been to your pace for a while .. my routine has of necessity been rearranged a bit and my time not spent as much at the cafe .. but i will catch up with you .. not sweet and lovable ..but the best ..i think that is so cool ..yes we do love our Grannies ... my Gram was very sweet until as you say they are here yet not .. she got pretty ornery ...very sad and tragic to be sure ...but we do still love them ... i have been having a bit of fun with names and poems and Hollywoods prestigious awards ..this is the last one i intend and is also about the Grammy Awards ;) i can see how it doesn't quite come through :(

Hold my hands up and admit to not seeing that. Now I reread its there. Even down to a gramaphone illustration. Duh! as you colonials say. Sorry but I'm generally about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

And glad to see you back E.
