Her smile illuminates the scene
Joy or woe, no in between
Her zest for life is palpable
Laughter fills her heart

Lavender and cookie jars
Idolising telly stars
Lavender bags adourn her rooms
Laughter fills her heart

Approprating feline friends
Has patience? Well, it never ends!
Appropriating castaways
Laughter fills her heart

Auntie, an unhidden gem
She was my creme de la creme
Auntie endured silently
Memories fill my heart

Wish I'd had an aunt like that :) Such a lovely picture of her in my mind from this peom.
Read the WriteWords interview with Oonah Joslin (V`yonne)

A really nicely evocative piece, Helen. As Oonah says, you really create a picture for the reader. Great use of "heart" as a refrain, and meaningful as well :)
