ANNIVERSARY
(...For Barbara Davis)
By Nina Cassian
I love you with the syllables I learned
From Shakespeare’s sonnets, burning, never burned.
Love you with the everlasting sounds
Of memory, your ups and downs
And calm and frenzy, ecsrasy and grief.
I love your life as much as I believe
In elements, in islands under spell,
In howling oceans, magic dew...
When once you called me Prospero, you knew
That I am Caliban as well.

For Celebrating Grand Parent’s day here is a nice poetry by Bridget Brown
This is a poem for my grandmother who has been there for me through thick and thin Kathleen Brown – Bridget Brown
Her
Her smile
Her laugh
Are full and rich
Her voice
Her touch
Are soothing and gentle
Her thought
Her feelings
Mean everything
When I’ve got nobody
Her laugh
Are full and rich
Her voice
Her touch
Are soothing and gentle
Her thought
Her feelings
Mean everything
When I’ve got nobody

Thanks so much for hosting this! Here's my Sweaty Limerick
So sorry Shashi--my first link is just visual, and while a bit summer vacationy and cute, it is not the link I meant to post. It's just a picture--so sorry, don't know how to remove. The second link is grandmother poem.
Thank you so much for the wonderful invitation! It is my pleasure to be a part. Yours truly, Lady Kay
Hi,
I have added a tribute to my great great grandmother.

Happy anniverary...hope there are many more...it was poetry potluck which helped me keep up verses even when stuck in a rut and the readers that followed is an added bonus. :)
Thanks for the kind remarks, dear poetic friends..
have a lovely day.
Here's a poem from my summer vacation this year! I actually had one for the theme. Yahoo!

Posting a poem that is close to the theme. I hope you like it. Looking forward to reading you.
Cheers
Padmavani
welcome.
will read within 48 hours..
Happy Poetry Picnic.
I put in my 9-11 tribute to canines.
Sorry guys, I messed up one of my entries again. If you go to number 110, Terri, and remove that one, I reposted it by the title instead. My deepest apologies. :(
Great prompt. I submitted two pieces, the first one I recently wrote from a very early memory. The second was simply my mind wandering around on vacation, while my body was trying to work.
Congratulations Jingle Poetry Community!
Mine's not on theme, but a new one all the same.
Have a great week everyone!
Hello,
I am off line for 6 hours in a row,
after I came back home at 10, I read two dozens of you.
will continue my reading tomorrow.
keep your talent coming.

Hi Gooseberry,
This time round I've pitched in with a lovely poem that has nothing to do with summer..
cheerz!
Just a poet
Yep, right on cue, a poem about summers of childhood :)
Back after a two week break :)
Better late than never, right? I found it extremely difficult to do poetry about my grandparents (though I have written plenty of longer scribbles about them)... Thank you, as always for this cozy little picnic among the gooseberry bushes!
first time here. i hope you all enjoy my poetry.
my entries are the ones labeled "The Crimson Crow's Poetry.
I linked my blog homepage by accident when the following poem was intended..

thanks for inviting me to your blog!
Happy 1st Blog Anniversary, Jingle Poets Community!!
I chose the anniversary theme since I just celebrated my anniversary in August and had written my husband a poem.
Happy Anniversary and may your have many, many more.
Namaste,
Isadora
I linked a poem that is a tribute to my Grandmother. Happy Anniversary!
Talented poets,
what a thrill to see you in.
Have fun!
shared one on summer vacation,
hope that you enjoy it.
Ok finally could post my poetry with the theme ... along with a very powerful poetry from Alfred, Lord Tennyson at the Death Anniversary of his great friend Arthur Hallam... called "In Memoriam A H H" in 1849, which was originally titled "Way of Soul".
Its a very powerful poem which was also a great favourite of Queen Victoria, who found it a source of solace after the death of Prince Albert in 1861: "Next to the Bible, In Memoriam is my comfort."
Hope you like my Haiku and my verse "In Memories" and look forward to reading yours this weekend.

hi every one how is life at your end? I am keeping quite ill, but that never stops me from visiting the garden where verses are exchanged and nurtured so well.
