THE BLESSING (Dream-Based Poem by Patricia Kelly)



THE BLESSING
[dreamed and written in May 1996]

My grandmother kisses me
softly at the corner
of my eye as if to bless
my vision

My child's heart leaps:
Daddy's Mommy!

This grandmother
who hugely mothered me
against her powdered
and corseted flesh

kisses me at the corner
of my eye as if to say:

look see how you are loved

HAIKU in Reponse to One Deep Breath's Prompt of 7-16-07




I diaper that slow
toilet leak again
slower plumber


This week's prompt at One Deep Breath is "bodies of water." Yeah, I know a leak may not seem like a body of water to a normal person. But when you have badly arthritic knees and nearly couldn't get up off the floor after trying to turn off the water to the toilet (the handle was totally jammed), any leak at all seems like a tsunami! And believe me, it brought back memories of diapering when I'd wrap my old towels and cloths around that thing's smooth rounded foot. LOL!

To enjoy others' takes on this prompt, just click on One Deep Breath above. [The triangle in the image above is the alchemical symbol for water; © Robin Wood 1997, and is Used with Permission]
