Poem Artwork

Carina Marie (dedicated to my dear niece)


Our little teenage babushka
Carina Marie
flaxen haired beauty
with caramel pink complexion
and starlight eyes

I watch as you paint the world
with a vivid imagination and
the rich, dayglo colors of your
palette

Although I do wonder why you
hang cans from the ceiling
and tape a fork to the fan
all with an avant-garde shrug of
your shoulders
and a blasé smile

I see the hidden potential
bursting forth like a sudden
downpour of sunshine

A bright door opens in
the golden mist

This is so charming...
Having three teenage Granddaughters...
I understand your words...
Your last lines are genius...
'A bright door opens in
The golden mist'
Says it all....
