My grandmother was no saint, chewed bacco,
swore to my ears blushed, air turned blue and
never had she time for crying babies. At eighty
she took a lover who was sixty he didn’t last
long her demands and lust for life too great for
only one man. Mother, a fallen nun, (gossip
about her and the municipal head gardener,
never properly explained to me) tried to get
her committed. Our elderly parish priest went
to see her as he thought it was time for her
to think of higher things, foolishly he took
a sip of her home made dandelion wine and
legless carried home. Rumours had it that she
had seduced him; perhaps true he left the next
day never to be heard of again. The new priest
wisely stayed away “The devil can take care
of his own” he muttered, which he regretted
deeply for when she died there was a baffling
light above her house angels sang and brittle
harp harmony drifted through morning still air.
This made the priest think twice about morality
and in time he became a wise old bishop.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
