To Jess, my pre-teen granddaughter

Rainbows and Crayola Boxes

by amada



What does poetry mean to me, you ask?
granddaughter?
I must say,
poetry
makes me fly...

"How, Grandma, how?" she asks.

I can go up
and see a rainbow...
when she is dressing up!

"How, how you can see it? Grandma, please..."
... She is curious now...

You see, Jess, poetry opens borders--
there are no lines...

"But how does she dress up? Grandma, how, pronto ..."
Oh, females and dresses!

Simply, child,
she just borrows some colors
from a crayon box!

She opens her big brown eyes,
grins and exhales....
"Ohhhh..."

That's what poetry is to me,
child.


I borrow colors, and images and  love, blend them all
in a big bathtub!
