Poem – Nostalgia – By Charmaine Candappa   NOSTALGIA In this twilight hour I sit alone thinking of last summer Of the hours together, of things we shared. Lessons learned, the tea and coffee breaks Followed by many study assignments. The trembling fears on those crucial days We had to conquer. I recall yesterday’s conversations Our hopes, our plans, and the sadness of parting. I remember how you tossed your salad shaking your bowl blending in the seasoning. I wonder how you are doing, yet knowing you are okay. I wonder if we would see each other again And in these many hours of aloneness I weave together the threads of my memories Tracing with hope a quilt with the separate pieces Each piece has my heart print. My gift to you, to wrap around your shoulders And feel the warmth of our friendship. Click here to receive your free ...

Birthdays – by Charmaine Candappa July As our birthdays approach us, I felt motivated to do something meaningful. Something personal, a shared experience with four friends we often meet. I would want to spend time at Yosemite, to look up and see the redwood trees towering over me. I need to fill my memory bank with things that give me joy. I love to string necklaces, with turquoise and jade beads, publish my poetry, and spend cherished time with friends who provide me laughter and joy. I am not alone when I sometimes speak of these thoughts aloud, even with gifted ladies in my church group on Tuesday mornings, in our creativity room. People derive more happiness from such experiences. Spending quality time with friends and family, that foster joy and enduring memories. My longing “to do” list includes a visit to New York to see the Statue of Liberty, ...

Summer Heat – By Charmaine Candappa In the hot and grimy heat Walking on an intolerable street I saw a lady seated in a chair Eating watermelon in her veranda .

Weekend – By Charmaine Candappa The evening is filled with lively conversations As we sit and enjoy a delicious dinner Of chicken Parmesan, on high stools And the baby is eating with us. She is part of our conversation She can say no words other than “ goo goo”, and “ ga ga”, and “ ma ma”. Yet she is the only one we all speak to. Ah such love and baby talk It’s the universal language. The little one has many years ahead I hope her dreams are more vivid and vibrant than ours. Charmaine Candappa. ...

High Tide – by Charmaine Candappa Off the high tide Broken sand dollar shells, slimy sea weeds of green Moon snail shell homes left long ago. Heron tracks in the wet sand Molten crab shells, and an old clamshell remain. Sparkling bits of sea glass, teal green, amber, frosted brown, and elusive blue Shimmering in wet glow. A wispy grey feather floats by of the high tide While puffy clouds sail in the sky.  Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly to your inbox! ...
