Pancho, by Mark Tulin

Grandpa Rodrigues put his grandson on his lap and said, “Did you ever hear of Pancho Villa?”

His grandson said “no.”

“Pancho Villa was a famous revolutionary hero who loved the common people, and had a special place in his heart for the poor.”

The boy bounced on Grandpa’s lap and asked, “What else?”

Grandpa stroked his beard. “My grandfather baked a sweet bread for Pancho in Chihuahua. It was the only bread that Pancho would eat and it was so delicious that Pancho made it the official bread of Mexico.”

The grandson smiled. He loved when Grandpa told stories.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
