Two Poems from our Family Poetry Collection

 
 
My Three Brothers and Me
   
Author: Terri Baumann
   
Poem:
My Three Brothers and Me
   
  I have never had a sister
Just my Three brothers and me, The only girl in generations
Counting back about three.

My oldest is a minister
he works for God each day
My twin is a preacher
He does the same a different way

My youngest is an evangalist Traveling to spread God's mystery,
Not me, the only girl
I have taken a different history.

What I do is still a calling
that others aren't meant to do,
I help the dying cross over so
I suppose thats a ministry too.

If I had a sister, I wonder
what she'd grow to be,
I'd just have been happy for
her to be a sister to me.

So now you met my family and what
all in this life we do,
Read my poems and respond
To tell me all about you.

Sunrise to Sunset Jazz
   
Author: Edgar Eslit
   
Poem: Sunrise to Sunset Jazz
   

Chirping birds and rustling leaves embrace the morning breeze gleefully hype
When the aroma of the browed coffee awaken the slumbering nostril to life
And the glaring sunrise refold the earthy music of Kenny G’s Silhouette
There the morning smiles like an orchestra on its alto el allegro strife
What a day, such a day, and a lovely day to start the new day right.

Waving and blinking satin curtain gliding the window underneath the cell
While the next dew fell ticking the saucer pan beneath the grills down below
And the next quack of the lone duck demises granny’s veil above the wall
Here signals a simpler lead, folding the blanket back and up pile the pillow
What a reminder, simple to remember, and so dearly spoken by granny Dell

Half dusted Sax bellowing the door used to throttle the B flat minor sound
With dad and his band used to play while his crews were on merry grove
And the San Miguel Beer typifies our stumping feet together on the ground
Well, there goes the pair, swinging and gliding in heightened antique moves
Such music, a living jazz, in twilight to dawn rings true for all generations

Ecstatic as it sounds maybe but the memories of old openly divulging everyday
That yesteryears happiness, for us kids in the family of five, remains a treasure
And the love, and values, and lessons we usher to everyone in that humble family
So to say, worth keeping all the way as it itched in heart that jubilant picture
Such memory, so simple, a vivid example of once cherished golden family day

Years have passed by as days would have come and go for my three boys to grow
What a task to do when a four, two and one year old mischievous kids approach you?
And the shout, cry, throwing, rocking, feeding, running and pampering would ensue?
Oh dear, the orchestra on its el alto allegro, but in a simpler melody caring like a pillow
Day ends with a whole note reminder: correction does more but encouragement does better.

Shhhhh, Sax's on while the three darling angels have come to slumber!
