Poem Commentary

For my Grandmother that passed away today

Dear Grandmother

Did I mention

That I lost something good.

Moments to the memories

with you I don’t remember

there ever being tension.

Listening to historical stories

sitting around the table

playing nickel poker.

buster, brownie, bamboozle

what ever his name;

that little human like dog

always sat by your side.

You probably went through many,

though to us they all

looked the same.

 

And another year later

here we all are

at least I know for sure

I see you standing next to

your grandson

brighter and bigger,

the most brilliant of the stars.

Though towards the end

your mind may have lost it’s way,

your heart resided so big

no one could compare or

take that away.

Forever and always

your impression is here to stay.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
