how many rounds
of CANDYland can
grandma possibly play?
SWEET littles in my life!

let’s begin again
GINGERBREADs,
we’re lined up at start
in primary colors

happy for shortcuts;
hopeful to see princess
LOLLY POP up in deck
rather than feeling

glum and PLUMpy

“Love, but be careful what you love,” (Augustine)

if you ever have an extra jellybean

whatever flavor is fine to my bellybean

juicy burst of sweetness tastes swellybean

but one’s not enough, we can tellybean

let’s go down to the local delibean

and buy biggest sack they sellybean

grandchildren’s weekend

visit foreign candy store

summertime sweetness

_______

see lit jar lantern

granddaughter catches fireflies

flashes in twilight

_______

water park zipline

grandson glides off high platform

makes big splash in pool

_______

baby grasshoppers

hop wildly around our feet

wait till they grow up!
