My Grammie has a purple ring
A lovely ring
My Grammie has a ring
With a blue birthstone
That we share
We went to see her
In the hospital
She looked up at me
And asked in a soft voice
A weak voice
If I wanted her ring
I said, “No”
Then she said,
“I’ll save this ring for you”
Then I gave her a hug
And kiss
And we left the hospital
And dad said,
“She wanted you
To have that ring
So you’ll remember her
Forever.”

In the kitchen
The white cake
Rests on the table.
She takes the
Roses out of the fridge,
Which she made
Out of pink frosting
Petal by petal
And gently places them
Onto the cake.
She stencils
Lovely Designs
Onto the bare, white surfaces,
Then my grandmother
And I
In the Barn

In the barn
The horse stands
She stares at me
Pauses
Whinnies outrageously
Drops her head
As if to say, “Please feed me.”
So I fill grain buckets
And all of the others start to whinny.
I feed them all
And say, “Good night.”
In My Back Yard

In my backyard
My goat stands
On his hind feet.
His front feet balance
On a tree
While eating leaves.
A bunch of burdocks
Cover parts of his fleece,
As white as a fresh piece of paper.
He goes to my barn,
Again stands on his two hind feet,
So he can reach my wreath,
