Boy To Man

Her little Tommy came of age Male hormones began to engage His mother's despair She pulled out her hair Until her Thomas passed the stage. written August 30, 2021

- A wise mother :))) - I write poems every day, Milton ... (maybe 2-3) ... but see no reason to post them here ... I do not want to spend 24 hours on the "soup" for someone to bother to read them ... maybe they are not good enough ... but flowers need water to survive :) - Have a lovely day :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Sunshine, it is always a pleasure to read the poems you post. I am elderly and alone, so the "soup" is a wonderful outlet for my scribblings. I consider the folks I interact with on here my friends. You, too, Anne-Lise!
