National Poetry Month - To my Grandmom

To my Grandmom


Remember
the couch covered in sheets—
blue, green, orange, pink—
extra long?

Remember
a million pairs of jeans
littered around the room?
Fashion shows for weeks!

Remember
dinner?
The table was full
but in came pound cake—chocolate icing and sprinkles!

Remember
peaches, warm weather and a pool?
Flying south together.

Remember
Crazy cousins at the beach?
Losing teeth, losing power, losing sanity…

Remember
every time I needed something
and you fixed it?


I do.

Thanks.
