Jeanne’s watercolor of Owen at 3 years old
“I love you, Nana!”
shouts Oliver as he splashes into the indoor pool
for the 100th time
clutching his noodle to buffer his plunge-
to allow him to weather a swim
under the roof
during the thunder storm overhead.
I did indeed
find us a condo at the Ponds at Fox Run in Lenox
which offers him swim, fish, supper
in all kinds of weather.
Perhaps I’ll name him my campaign manager
for my run as “nana of the year!”

‘Twas romance on the wild lagoon
With largest catch from far to soon.
Husband shows his wife the place
Where magic lights upon his face.
With largest catch from far to soon
Those fish sure bite before the moon
Raises frogs; makes turtles swoon.
Husband shows his wife the place
Which beckons nightly for his grace
Canoe or kayak, rod in case.
Where magic lights upon his face
And beavers threaten with their “whacks”
How dare you fish in beaver’s place?
