ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
I love this! What a sweet gift to pass on to your Granddaughter as you write poetry together!
I’m enjoying it. She commented about the rhyme in this one. The other one we worked on did not rhyme. I was glad she noticed. And thank you, BettieG. 😀
That’s nice. When I was starting out writing haiku (mid-60s), a lot of mine rhymed. At the time, that was the thing to do where I went to college.
I love rhymes. That is poetry to me! Odes, ballads, limericks – bring them on. 😀
That’s a great one. I’ve always looked at Jellyfish in wonder.
Creatures of so many sorts- ’tis amazing. What an intellect is behind these! Thanks, Jacque.
Teach us Your great mysteries. Open the eyes and ears of our hearts. Thank You, Amen.
Yes, and amen from me also. Look at nature and behold his wonders.
A beautiful experience to share the love of poetry with a child. Wonderful collaboration. ❤
I enjoyed her visit so much. She has just turned nine. Still young enough to like to do things with me; yet old enough to do a bit more than color! Or, play house. My girls always let me pretend to be the grandmother so I can get by with doing some pretty regular things while they play. 😀
Look at nature and behold His wonders. I love that response of yours, Oneta. Look around. Look up and be grateful for faith. Thank you. I love rhymes and my inspirational proses have always rhymed. I enjoy your clever haiku also. Cheers!
Thank you for your kindness. You are good for one’s spirit! 😀
