Mehnaz Veetil Poet Quintain (English)

Mother, Middle Aged

Mother, Middle Aged.


Forlorn, she sinks into the abyss of a middle aged
mother,  her pupae no longer the apple of her eye.
Baffled, she sees her cocoon tear open and barge
hastily, fumbling in quest of sham grown ups’ pride.
A mother she remains, middle aged. Spiteful and void.

Debbie Guzzi January 8, 2013 at 1:15 PM Well, that's a very hard take on the poor woman, perhaps men should try men-o-pause and see how they act? It is one heck of a write though even if I don't like the topic, great writing! Congrad's on your win. Light & Love Mehnaz Veetil January 8, 2013 at 2:15 PM Yes, Debbie .true, :-). And thank you. But there are a few who are left with meagre choices in life. Just felt like reminding myself of the blessings bestowed.... Love always ,Mehnaz
