my grandmother

I just lap up tributes to ancestors as I so love and miss my grandmother in particular.

I read this as the start of something; I feel like there are a few more home-hitting points you could share (about what made her amazing) to really drive her into the hearts of your readers.

Funny, when you mention Verona you may mean Italy, but there's a town not far from me here in NJ by the same name, so my connection goes straight to that town!

 I think her connection with her own mother (whom she never saw again) needs to appear earlier in the poem to make the ending more meaningful.

Those are my tired thoughts of the night!
