The Apple Doesn'T Fall Far

Loving my mother, The roots to my tree she stays, Exalting her charm, Embracing her every word Fearing to become her too

Very interesting tanka you have here, Jamecia--that last line definitely gave this an intriguing twist as well-- and for some reason I can also relate to it-- nikko :)

Your Poem leaves a mixed feeling. You appear to love your mother, still fearing to become her too. You have left the readers in a stage of solving this mystery. One thing is very clear that you have dealt the Poem very skillfully. Beautiful write my friend. Love and best wishes....Ravindra...Jamecia Buggs
