in flourish, Poetry Tags: "q", cuts you off when you're turning, descender, different angle, flourish, has "u"trailing it, John Stevens, number "9", Queens, rhymes with brew chew flue rue threw you, shaves you clean, walking the dog, yo-yo on a string
“q” is a descender
it goes down at a different angle
cuts you off when you’re turning
shaves you clean
usually has a “u” trailing after it
queens love it as a logo
it matches number ‘9’
and a yo-yo on a string (walking the dog)
“q” rhymes with: bleu, blew, blue, boo, brew, brue, chew, choo
gnu, grew, rue, shoe,
thru threw,
you

Jeanne in her Jeanne dress
went to the Providence RI Marriott
swam in the pool
stretched in the hot tub
listened to a family having water fun
ate in the coffee house where I was served to perfection
got to observe the receptionist who observed and conversed with everyone passing by
the waitress who saw my hand raised from afar and knew what I needed
was grateful to all those who helped me navigate the halls and parking of an enormous property ( one cleaning woman said my red hair reminded her of the summer in Haiti)
while I felt “among my family” with every encounter
safe, significant, and gracefully balanced!

Jeanne in one of her Jesus Robes
Jeanne’s Poem:
Some days I wear my Jesus robe
which covers my “no underwear.”
Other days, it’s cover for my manly, muscled legs
which younger brother labels “fat”.
(My fiancé smiles and retorts:”She doesn’t knock down easily”)
Other times my long robe is wide pants for yoga, skating and aerobic exercise-
somersaults, jumps and spinning.
Sometimes I cover with a long cape
for sacred rites, magic and covens.
Swishes live across my ankles,
flow with ‘lectric hems, static power.
Jesus robes are walls ‘gainst dust
windmills for energy: the Word of God, incarnate!

in JOKE, Poetry Tags: Gracie at the Louvre, hidden parlor trick, indoors and outdoors, jch, JOKE, Leonardo wrote in reverse, meanie joke, mirror writing, Mona Lisa's eyes, sarcasm, smiling without teeth, teasing, thimble
Gracie at the Louvre
sarcasm is a joke in a thimble
teasing is a cat in arms!
smiling without teeth is a meanie joke
hiding fangs within!
Mona Lisa’s eyes follow you at the museum
The joke’s on you!
Indoors and outdoors in one painting
is a hidden parlor trick!
Leonardo wrote in reverse
He joked in mirror writing!

in Poetry, That's the Way It Is Tags: angel from his car, angel showed me where to leave the sample, angel took my prescription, angel woke me at 6AM, driving, elevator, found vein, Geneen Roth, parking, six angels strong, The Way It Is, winged guidance
The Way It Is
The door opened only 8”-
couldn’t fit through.
An angel from his car helped me:
“If you push it a little, it’ll open more
I’ll help you if you want”
The receptionist took my info
I had 8 blood tests to take
This angel reminded me to take my prescriptions with me
for the phlebotomist.
Critical!
Had to pee for one test of blood sugar.
Squeezed it out.
An angel showed me where to leave the sample.
All these details are
angel led.
winged guidance!
An angel woke me at 6AM.
Another guided my driving to the clinic.
A third found a parking spot.
The fourth held my hand to the elevator and
The fifth made sure I had my prescriptions.
The sixth was the trainee who learned to feel for my veins.
That’s the way it is: six angels strong!
That’s the way it is!
