My Grannio
I never thought I would have to say GOODBYE to my best friend? But that's what I had to do today I had to let go of her forever - There was no other way For me to face reality Or pretend to be okay I had no concept - Of how hard it would be To actually let go Of this huge part of me? Not tomorrow or ever - Will my life be the same Without my Grannio here Life seems to be a game - Of chance and questions? Questions that never end And have no answers That can begin to mend The gaping hole inside of me Nor come close to healing My heart and soul that Seem to be feeling Lost, numb and empty- Completely hollow? Like I have nobody left To really follow - Through life with respect She was so much more Than my Grandmother I knew that before She left this earth And I told her so More than once or twice Because she had to know Just how very special - And truly blessed I felt to have her as my friend She was the best Without a doubt - My Grannio gave me More than anybody Will ever really see? It was an unspoken - Kind of love That came with no conditions And went far above The normal caring And average support For a grandchild - Or family of any sort She gave more of herself To me than anyone In my life ever will Nobody could have done What she did for me With so much devotion, Absolute honesty And true emotion? Her loyalty was - Sincerely undying I realize so much Now that I'm crying - And wishing that I had just one more day To spend holding her hand And trying to take away Her fears and her pain - That took over her Body and her mind Like never before? In our lives - I would have sincerely Given 20 years of my life To have her merely Be here tomorrow - I cannot explain The way I feel today Or how much I pain Is inside of me - That will never go away No matter how much time passes I know this ache will stay With me forever? Just as her special touch Will always be with me And mean so very much - To me and my son? Jakob Thomas Her "BabyDoll" And I promise To never forget - What she would have done If she was still here For him - her only one Great-grandchild?

Breathing-in, Minnesota [a poem: now in Spanish and English] In early fall, in Minnesota, the rain falls, falls, In buckets, buckets and more buckets-: drops Likened to music from its many streams-land Of ten-thousand lakes; moistened gravel, gravel Everywhere?Grandpa sits on the porch-daydreaming of, of Something, perhaps winter around the corner-; As the flies disappear, with the mosquitoes? Leaves will soon vanish, shadows will come earlyMaybe he's thinking about summer: miles and miles And miles and miles of cornfields; his childhood now Long gone, he hums a hymn, a song; looking at the Metal-piped fence, he made, with three poles, on the Embankment, leading up the steps to the porch; It's worn-out like him.The winds in Minnesota smell fresh, fresh from all The foliage, there's a lot of it.

Satirical Poetry About Tony Blair All Hail.Is your hospital full of aliens, despite new cleaning firms, Antenna waving buggies, And creepy crawly germs, Then dont waste another second, now were into election spin, Just complain, over and again, and up pops smiley smiley grin. Banana Republic Like a cat I slumber, blissfully unencumbered, Through eighty per cent of my allotted span, Occasionally awoken, when dissent is spoken, And I invent another cunning five year plan, Lately it was pensions, that were being mentioned, So I borrowed from the French and Robespierre, Scrap all that went before, saved by tooth and claw, And let my all equal Citizens appear, Currently it is time, for me to be in my prime, For there is another election looming, I have to appear sincere, for part of this coming year, And assure everyone that everything is booming, Never mind strict quotas, Ive imported multitudes of voters, And told them which party let them stay, Though Ive rigged the postal vote, and defamed everyone of note, You never know what might happen on the day.So to be on the safe side, I swallow all my pride, And allow my people to hear my hallowed voice, And roll out the charade, put on the facade, And even make believe they have a choice, Next time around the crown, will be trampled underground, House of Lords and Lord Chancellor history, With the other Chancellor gone, I alone will soldier on, Yes, then there will only ever be me, Ill hold elections for you, as all dictators do, And fill positions with those that grease my palm, As for civil unrest, there is always house arrest, Or secret imprisonment for those that mean me harm.
