"nanna" poems
Nelle case, dove ancora si ragiona coi vicini presso al fuoco, e già la nuora porta a nanna i suoi bambini, uno in collo e due per mano; pel camino nero il vento, tra lo scoppiettar dei ciocchi, porta un suono lungo e lento, tre, poi cinque, sette tocchi, da un paese assai lontano: tre, poi cinque e sette voci, lente e languide, di gente: voci dal borgo alle croci, gente che non ha più niente: - Fate piano! Piano! Piano! Non vogliamo saper nulla: notte? Giorno? Verno? State? Piano, voi, con quella culla! Che non pianga il ***** Fate piano! Piano! Piano! Piano! Non vogliamo ricordare vino e grano, monte e piano, la capanna, il focolare, mamma, bimbi... Fate piano! Piano! Piano! Piano! Piano!

L'or di notte
The witch finder general he came to seek them out. His mistake when innocent witches. The innocent ones his soul did take. Dunked Nanna in the ducking pool. Dragged aunt to Manning Tree. Wanted to started a mega pyre for the likes of thee and me. In archaic land of treachery in the land of treason. Sweet virgins crucified with no justified reason. Mother turned the milk sour. Daddy was a warlock. Brother was magic man. Kept his grimoire by his bed. Family of innocence. Witches innocent, Spitting fire now deceased after the flames. Wanted the witch finder's mortal remains.

Poppa's hands are wore and aged They have seen a century of history All the wrinkles and scars from the years Life made it's mark, the world has issued its sentence. Poppa's hands were once strong and steady Sweating and bleeding in the fields Holding the weapons of war, holding the hand of a fallen soldier Gentle and Hard at the same time Fighting the evil of a **** Nation Protecting and Serving with every motion Struggling to use a pen to write to his love at home Wiping away tears, all at the young age of 17 Poppa's Hands are gentle and wise Holding a baby with a twinkle in his eye Watching the child grow, catching each fall Supportive and harsh, strict and kind Poppa's Hands held mine through the years Guided me through his garden, working with the land Running his hands through the dirt Picking the fruit and vegetables provided by our lord Poppa's hands gave to his fellow man Always willing to lift another soul up Poppa's hands supported my Nanna in her final days Held and stroked her skin until the very end. Poppa's hands are now to weak to move Unable to lift his great granddaughter in the sky Unable to climb a tree Unable to be what they were once Now I can hold my Poppa's hand and pray Pray to guide poppa's hands to his true home

Temple Hymn 22: an Excerpt to the Sirara Temple of Nanshe by Enheduanna (circa 2285-2250 BCE) loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch O, house, you wild cow! Made to conjure signs of the Divine! You arise, beautiful to behold, bedecked for your Mistress! Enheduanna, the daughter of the famous King Saragon the Great of Akkad, is the first ancient writer whose name remains known today. She appears to be the first named poet in human history and the first known author of prayers and hymns. Enheduanna, who lived circa 2285-2250 BCE, is also one of the first women we know by name. She was high priestess of the goddess Inanna (Ishtar/Astarte/Aphrodite) and the moon god Nanna (Sin) in the Sumerian city-state of Ur.

he wasn’t so much a peddler (as many had quietly assumed) more of a rural shuffler or social inchworm than a mover and a shaker but boy could he dish out those jabs and ad lib on a whim and draw sweet melodies from that broken 6 string all night long carving out reflections oh, those deep intuitive divinations! steadily preaching on the breathtaking joys and fruits of the vibrant land *grow your own seeds to be sown clean and green a nourishing machine!* silver linings (straight from truth room) clearly seen from those uncompromised garden views casting his baited lines from softly pebbled shores (his nanna, and poppa were there, years before) giving grace… and basking deeply in the bounty of the fenua his love of life was insatiable moving from town to town to nourish his soul digging way beyond the deep for that shrouded purpose that soulful existence that many spend a lifetime looking to find three boats settle in the quiet harbor a net shed basking in the sand peaceful and serene (with a hint of emerald green) Sunset red with crawfish (and lemongrass) to keep us bountifully fed

the rap of a tired career woman come mother
Dear Grandpa, Nanna told me all about it. The smell of ****** smoke and screams. Bandoliers falling in all directions with grenades honoring the occasion. And the story of you, And how you became confetti. It’s been so many years, the smell of barbecue smoke and laughter reign now. Kids run in all directions And balloons join the celebration. March 25th is a holiday now. Nanna always brings a million memories. She says she has to feed them, because if she don’t they’ll eat her up. So she tells us stories about you. I heard you even fought Victor Charlie. Musta been one gnarly son of a ***** because I heard he won. But don’t apologize. When I was eight, my momma told me I should be proud of you because you put up a fight. When Nanna was 25, Two slender men in uniform made their way onto the front porch, knocked on the door, And told her the same thing. She sat on the porch for years Waiting for you. But the Rolling Stones don’t roll no more, crickets don’t sing, and Nanna’s rocking chair is retired. Your grandson likes to play on it, But we don’t want him to break it. He's a curious little grunt, so I tell him stories. “Once, your great grandpa dodged a bullet.” I tell him “it went right past his God **** ear.” He stops me and asks The same question I asked my father. But Pa, what's faster than a bullet? Nothin'. -a.m

on this day when the sky resembles god's bellybutton filled with fuzzy only he knows where it comes from lint and the ground, sodden and squelchingly muddy and puddles abound on this day....we look to each other and find old board games and puzzles to play...kerplunk, unbarrelled monkeys...snakes and ladders.....and jenga all entertain...as we play just us three.... (for nanna there is cricket and napping) now it is mid afternoon and we are tumble together like monkeys on the couch tod...sleeping thumb in mouth...and us wrapped together....beginning the slow forplay that will come to fruition tonight... we have stolen this day... and are happy....in doing so

we are thieves, together
" I found one Mummy!!!" says my just about four year old boy. We are on our town green at the, combined churches Easter Egg Hunt. This is Tod's first big egg hunt and he does n't quite seem to have the hang of it. Tod my boy, who now sits with his plastic egg. Happy as can be!!! "Honey don't you want to go find some more ?" "Can I ?" "Why don't you go find one for Nanna & Da." So off he goes, just about quivering with excitement, Dad trailing protectively behind. He comes back with four more eggs, so five in total. One for Nanna, One for Mummy, One for Da and one for me. We ask, the obvious, Tod, who is the last one for?... It's for her, he says pointing to a lady, sitting alone,on a park bench watching the children play. She is a complete stranger, to us, and looks a little bedraggled, not a street person, or drunk, just beyond caring. "Why her ?" We ask, just a tad alarmed,(Stranger danger and all that.) because, " She is all alone and sad, with no eggs and everybody should have eggs on Easter. Gobsmacked much!!!..... Our little man saw to the heart of it. While we looked at the shell. We took the egg over to, Anne, for that was her name and asked, if she would join us for a picnic lunch of fish and chips. It turned out she was travelling through and had broken down .... was stuck till early next week(until her car was fixed) and was missing easter with her family. She had come to the park, to see children play on Easter Sunday morn. As we parted later, with address's exchanged. She leant over and said in my ear. "You've done well, such a thoughtful little fellow." I just beamed through my welling tears. Then she walked away. and Tod gave her his cheery little wave.

it gives my heart ease, to sit quietly in the corner of your room and watch you, as you sleep... i sit in the chair where not so long ago you suckled at my ******* and marvel at how the years have passed at how you have grown. i used to hold your feet in the palm of my hand and look down on your little baby face now you run and play, you are daddy's little man and nanna's goodboy and tom and nates bestest buddy this is the time, sometimes the only time, when i have you all to myself, this is the time when i spend a few moments stolen from the world to  watch you curled up into a little ball this is the time when my womb calls to me and i sigh and say; "he was once ours but now he belongs to a bigger, brighter place" this is the time when i kiss your sleeping brow and give you once more into the care of the god's and then turn and go to bed.

a mother's thoughts
My nanna said "Kid, Don't eat a whole-bowl-full Of sugar Cause when your tongue's Coated in it You can't taste anything else." There's so much more Than just sweetness To explore. I stopped having a sweet tooth When I met you. I still over indulged.

my brother used to tease me with MY friends and i simply stood up for myself, whether or not i know how to fight or not, i think my brother got the message, but he didn't leave me alone, i threw cricket stumps at him, i threw ***** at him very hard, he still wanted to tease me, i killed our cat, because my mental condition was thinking i must **** the dingo that killed azara, i want mum to go to her grave not knowing i told you this, i have told all of canberra, because, at the end of the day, i was sick and mental, mind you i was showing compassion since then, by attending funerals, you see i was scared of dying, but i am dead now, so to speak, i can see my dad and my grandma and my nanna i know their next earth bodies annie from bratayley who is gran, john robert rimel who is nan, betty campbell, who is dad, now, i know i ain't really dead, i am having fun treating my mental illness, and getting reformed, i am going to dance class room to move, theatre group ignite and i perform at poetry slams, i do shows on youtube i join poetry groups, where i write crap out of me, i liked myself as a kid, but i must grow up i am learning about schizophrenic kids, because i had one delusion which started the pack, i must fight to get people to leave me alone, that is a bunch of crap, i tied up a boy to the toilet and it was only me and the kid that knew for sure it was nothing, but, i was sick, in ways, i have been getting these weird vibes that people in the cosmos were trying to touch my pension say, i am a little girl, and chop my ***** off, saying foo doo doo doo brian is a little girl, cause he touches up people's penis's, but they think that, cause that they don't know squat, ok, i tied him up and let him go, i would fucken know

Death jousts with pain each day of life in a deadly tournament each side waiting for the silk scarf to fall. In vain they wait as the me between shrinks into a senseless ball of indecision living a death of sorts each day. There is a need to end the vice-like pain of living. To scrape out the anger burrowing deep malignant in bone. There is a love which holds me bound in a winding sheet of guilt and fear to leave you alone as I was left by Nanna and the phenobarbitone. to escape the daily torment and the pain.                                                                © M.L.Emmett

The Deadly Tournament
it is sunday morning, early.... the boys, still asleep the nanna,  still asleep just me.... and the recently fed, but hoping for more, blucat shadow, walk in the garden, leaving imprints in the dew laden grass. i make my way, with murping shadow to the fish pond. we, sit upon the rocks and watch the koi, glide smoothly by... i slowly introduce my hand, to the still night-cool water and wait.... for the fish kisses. the blucat is entranced, eyes intent on the slow moving tails, ears forward and twitching.... overcome by such blatant tempatation, he makes a swipe at the gold and black   goodness..... and in a flash..... they are gone ....and he, is left sheepishly licking a wet veleveteen paw.... back to me.... not wanting to see me laughing .....at his foolishness.

Jean Allan trying to connect with Brian Jean Allan is Brian Allan's Nanna who died in 1997 And Brian, now is helping the Belconnen magpies with The barbecue, Jean felt so happy, and she sent her Earth life to the Belconnen Magpies games, in the form Of a kid named Alex, who was there to help out with The carrying of the water, and also he's a fan of the GWS Giants, now, Brian doesn't know this kid, and Jean doesn't want her earth life to contact Brian Even though he smiled at Brian on the way to the GWS Giants he smiled at Brian, and that smile Was saying hi Brian, this is Nanny, and I am Staying in Canberra a while, and really I didn't figure it out But Nanny will always be Alex, whether Brian sees him again or not Jean wants her earth life to see Brian again Because it would be great if they can be cool together But this kid isn't my Nanna in this life, so really I have to be aware You see my pop was in Canberra back in the 80s In the form of a kid who said I was one of us And that made me feel like I was very cool And it makes sense that he was pop So at the moment it's Nanny who is hanging around me And I want to see Alex again, because it makes sense to me That he's Nanny, oh yeah, it sounds more real Jean Allan is sitting on Saturn talking to Alexander Gimbert And he said that don't worry that he couldn't figure you out Because if Brian knew that I was him back then He would've been mental earlier, but you need to come back to him, Jean And Jean said, maybe so, I will be back with my earth life Brian Allan, yes I will see you again
