FrancescaShow poetry

Like the phoenix, I am beginning again at AP (April, 2009.) Francesca was my maternal grandmother's name. Born in Bari, Italy, and wife to Giovanni (from Lecce), she mothered 11 children including la mamma mia .

 

Will be posting very few pieces I've written before. Inordinately busy w/life (and who isn't?) Endeavoring to get a couple of new verses posted here forthwith. [Done.]

 

Most previous vestiges of me online are gone: no more Caroligné, Eosa, or Solveigh.  I'm not French or Greek or German. What I am is Italian, ergo Francesca (fran-CHESS-kah).  Starting over building on my Roman (and, perhaps, later my Irish and Welsh) heritage. 

 

What else is germane here? Ah, yes:  I love purple. And Rilke's work. And my children. And God. In reverse order. Sentence fragments abound. The bane of an English degree.  No, wait, that would be cell phone text-speak which my two teenagers have elevated at warp speed to an art form. I'm an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher; learning begins at home. idk wut do u thnk? *going to wash my fingers out with soap*


Ciao, belleze!

 

NOTE:  8/14/09 -- trying to get the kiddos in school (jr. & sr. high this year!), last-minute dental appts completed, clothes and school supplies purchased. *whew* Will try to post something in the next few weeks. :-|

angels soundlessly,
with single strides,
climbed over our prostrate hearts."
