Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Poet Quatrain

The Birth of a Girl the Birth of a Boy

In a forest a girl was born   
A girl born oh so poor
This girl then caused this world now torn
Her birth opens a sore

But we do not now this girl mourn
She was left some money
A thrifty woman not to scorn
Then a taste of honey

She met a man she was forlorn
Bore a son Alois
Unwed and aging, no ring worn
No ring, so still a Miss.

Her bastard son none could be warned
When his mother did wed
He gave a name the world did scorn
A name that all wished dead

If his mother knew what was born
Hitler the name we know
I wonder would she have  been torn?
To give him birth, or no.

Joy Wellington January 9, 2013 at 11:40 PM Mandy, I don't even like the guy, but I don't think that God would want us to take His place and be judge and jury over the life of a child. I however recognize that a lot of innocent people have suffered at the hands of this cruel man and hate for him comes easily even to the point of wishing his mom had taken the light out of his eyes even before they were opened. Him aside though, this is a beautifully composed piece. Thanks for the good wishes, the same and more for you one love Joy Wells Mandy Tams The Golden Girl January 10, 2013 at 1:45 AM That is the reason the 3rd line last stanza I put 'I wonder' there is no 'wish' there Joy love xx

Richard Lamoureux January 9, 2013 at 6:35 PM scarey thought, I never really gave much thought to Hitler's Mom before. Intrestingly he was quite an artist if only he had been accepted into the art school he had applied for perhaps history would have gone in a different direction. Mandy Tams The Golden Girl January 10, 2013 at 1:43 AM makes you wonder doesn't it xx

Russell Sivey January 9, 2013 at 3:04 PM Wow what a powerful image you have painted here with this incredible write! It is amazing to think that he did have a mother and that he come from somewhere!
