    She at 70

        She sat at the table
         But she moved gracefully, dancing,
       She wore an old robe,
          But she was dressed in blue satin,
       Her hand, her neck were unadorned,
          But she sparkled in diamonds
        Grey hair fell across her brow
           But it curled in dark tendrils,
         Falling softly, 'round her shoulders.
        She drank hot tea,
            But her glass bubbled with champagne...
        "Grandma,"  the little child asked, pulling her sleeve,
         "Grandma, do you hear me?"

    What a great gift to have. How comforting it is to exist in two places at once. I've been doing it more and more lately, and find that I am able to appreciate both worlds equally. I really like the ending. Great poem.

    Ah, what a trip your rather brief verse directed me to. It was as they say a trip of trips and it allowed the reader to fill in the spaces of her own story. wow ty mamasan This is indeed worthy only of a 20+ rating according to my own measuring stick. ty mamasan

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
