Notes About The Poem

An Angel Sent By God

An Angel sent by God best describes my Mum: a more loving soul has never walked this Earth. Mum could bottle preserves: apple, peach, or plum; cultivate my pride, and shore up my self-worth. And she could knit, crochet, macramé, and sew, learning skills on her own; she took life in tow. I have always felt loved and safe around her: so when I think of her, tears begin to stir.

I always wish everyone would feel the angelic side of a mother, I do feel sad when some do not.. your poem described angelic features of a mum, so beautifully.. It is Mother's Day here in the UK, so I thought it would be nice to feature mum related poems.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

This is so sweet and soulful dear Emile. I really admire your love and appreciation for your mum. Especially love how youv described her with lines such as “cultivate my pride, and shore up my self-worth. And she would knit, crochet, macramé, and sew,” talented and a kind mum i see through your words. I love this form and you’ve written a seamless one. Pleasure reading your work.

This fosters a deeply moving, reminiscent and loving poem, crafted with great form. I'm sure some of your mum's natural tow and ear for creativity has well and truly embroidered into you as well. Warm wishes, Lottie
