Nature:
White clouds overcast
Cold windy breeze blowing blast
Bending trees like mast
Sometimes slow and sometimes fast
Light blue skies behind clouds vast
Family:
Easter lilies cuts
Wield large knife gardening nuts
Out front of house ruts
Small vases of sacred huts
Fifth on dining table but
Maw frying fish cakes
Wheelchair crying with knees aches
Old people mistakes
Cutting toe nails and corn flakes
After Paw’s leaf blower rakes
Crying Old Maw’s clean
Activities lack routine
Lotion, iodine, latrine
Dependant on others’ preen
Daughter said, ‘To deal with change!’ mean
Massage aching hands
Crying Old Maw understands
None at all to help plans
Stretching the tight muscles strands
Remove some pain; so she stands.
