Nanny by amaver33: 10:56pm On Apr 28, 2009
A month ago,
Nanny died.
I just walked in the door
Mom and Dad standing there.
They told me.

Three days later,
the funeral.
Flowers everywhere,
people crying,
hugging.
Sad music
comes from an organ.

I got there,
I saw my grandma,
she was crying.
I felt her grief.
Then my aunt.
Awkwardly stading on heels,
we hugged.
Embracing each other,
heads on shoulders.

We gather,
take our seats,
get our tissue,
Nanny's in peace.

Not bad at all. But why don't you put all the poems in a single thread and give headline on each poem.

Re: Nanny by tpiah: 7:01pm On Apr 29, 2009
nice one.

Rather close to home though, since I also experienced something like that.

Hope we dont know each other?

does nanny here mean babysitter or blood relative?
Re: Nanny by amaver33: 8:16pm On Apr 29, 2009
blood relative, my great-grandma.
