Notes About The Poem

OK, My mom and I had a fight - yes, we made up - but before that - I got to be editorial - in poetry!  =]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Green Witch

My mom, with the green
witch's casual, sour malice,  
can verbally kill.

But she is easily
deceived by disguise 
- my body is a mask.

My submission is
but a costume - my calm
the offered lie.

I detest my own
pale, small, adolescent 
answers - my weakness.

Be patient with your mom because...well, she is your mom. But it won't be too long before you spread your wings and fly; you will remember the lessons your mom taught you, but you will make your own choices.

I know, I love my mom... but sometimes... We’ve made up now.. but if I’m upset I’ll usually write a poem =]
