A Fragment of My Family

I found it so difficult to write a poem about my biological mother I finally wrote “Oh, Mama”. It is a sad poem about daughter/mother relationship, like a crumpled picture or a torn picture separating me, being a fragmented piece of my family. Will I get an answer why she treated me so differently? No answer then. Never will be. 2/24/21 Emile Pinet Fragmented Verse Poetry Used: How Many Syllables

Congratulations Marlene, Your poem came in "Second" in my contest, your sad thoughts on your relationship, (or lack thereof) with your mother, touched my heart and earned you a top podium position. Well done my friend, Emile.
