…..my attempt at free form poetry
Sisters and Cousins
Sisters
sibling rivalry
shared memories
some bad but mostly good
some forgotten
others not
separated by marriage and distance
reunited by an aging parent
and children
Cousins
offspring of the sisters
separate lives
because of distance,
circumstance and work
a longing for family connection
reunited because of their children
an unbreakable bond of love
Four generations; Dad, my sister and I, my youngest daughter and her daughter and my sister’s son and daughter and her daughter’s son.

Thanks Judith. I haven’t written any poetry in awhile. This creativity challenge is difficult. I need to make art again. At least I know what I’m doing.

Thanks Rainee. I felt I was taking a bit of a risk but it came from the heart.
