I started a poem in 2014 about Grandma and it morphed into this. I'm not sure I did her justice. <br /><br />In an earlier version I gave a detailed account of her appearance in addition to her daily silent-servitude for her children/grandchildren. I wonder what effect this had on Daddy and his thoughts about womanhood. Something to explore. Thanks again for the kind words!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018414449844027180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359561591435561749.post-19789722855024882702017-07-10T19:37:06.800-04:002017-07-10T19:37:06.800-04:00Love these!

Deep. Thought-provok...Love these! As usual. <3 <br /><br />Deep. Thought-provoking. Inspiring. Humorous. Scenes clearly painted and yet a reader feels the layers between the scenes.<br /><br />"Early Morning Manna at Grandma's" starts nostalgic and warm. I can smell and taste those biscuits...and the swirled molasses and butter. And then...the poem begins to turn. For me that turn begins when Grandma eats last, a sign of the times and circumstances. And it gets deeper and twistier from there. Superb. <br /><br />I love the serendipitous moment when you discovered the two family member poems. Perfect!! <br /><br />onepersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395600714257162622noreply@blogger.com
