A mother's loveA Mother's Love
You carried me for nine months and brought me in to the world,
You was overjoyed and excited when the doctor said " it's a girl",
You showered me with love and kisses as you held me in your arms,
You made it your upmost responsibility to protect and shield me from harm,
you gave me...

Reaons for You, MOTHER
M is for the moments you create,
With love and laughter, you set the fate.
In your arms, the world feels right,
Turning every day into pure light.
You make the ordinary shine,
With you, life’s path is so divine.
O is for the overflowing heart,
T is for tenderness you show from the start.
You open doors to dreams we chase,
With every...

A Mother By Heart, A Woman By MindA mother by heart, a woman by mind
A dual nature she presents
She is glad to be a mother
But who cares to bother?
That she is also a woman
She also works at home and at work
She wonders her time of peace
Perhaps it was because she never felt
A bit of rest
And a bit of appreciation is what she...

Thank You for Your TimeI’m going to
tell you something.
Even though
I know
your pity
will just spore,
like Huns of the night,
into my world.
I will be
your broken bird
on the sidewalk.
If, at the end of a long day,
when you coo
perfumed nonsense
around my wound,
it clouds me
in something
that almost resembles
a mother’s
warm touch.
Thank you
for...

What RemainsShe sang me to sleep
with a voice like flint—
sparks tucked under lullabies.
Spoons clattered in the sink
like cymbals in a warning.
She kissed my grazed knee
then asked
why I always fall.
Love was measured
in thirds:
a gaze, a sigh, a withheld "well done".
At dawn,
she watered dead plants
just in case.
I mistook
her absence for freedom.
Now I trace
her shadow across my choices....

Oenomela practiced smile on her face
a mother’s oenomel breath puffs wind under gossamer wings
reminiscent of the translucent wings of green lacewings—
mistaken for a pest, but beneficial—
to strike out and explore a thorny world
resisting the siren call of spring’s scent
turning their heads with songs of love
emerging personalities
unravel the cocoon spun in...

Chocolate
Chocolate is for me,
Color me beautiful.
Can dip fried bacon or,
Crunchy with lots of nuts.
Could live with pineapple,
Causing smiles everywhere.
Candy box is great gift....

Motherto come home to a mother,
after a long day at school,
to that greeting of love and care,
to a spotless house, and aroma
of food that she makes so well,
to her healing maternal touch,
… those bygone days,
still stay with me…
to drive home to a caring wife,
waiting alone for me at home,
for that hug and kiss, the...

Mother’s One-Way TicketOur sweet mother went to heaven one Spring day.
Four years ago, the flowers folded their wings.
Hymns, ethereal in the fog; smile at bay.
Left at table, in closet, on shelves - her things.
Most dearly departed, her ticket one-way.
And my father cheers her urn each day.
She’s in our hearts, our thoughts are off and flying.
This family is...

UNCONDITIONALUNCONDITIONAL
To all the mothers, near and far,
Beneath the brightest, guiding star,
Or in the quiet, gentle gleam,
Living out a precious dream.
For every tear you've softly dried,
For every fear you've cast aside,
For scraped knees kissed and made anew,
For whispered words, both kind and true.
For sleepless nights and weary days,
Lost in a loving, hazy maze
Of tiny hands and...

Mama, my best word My sweetness, from you, my first meal,
Exclusively for six.
And for many more months after~
The grub that made me tick.
You'd go hungry for me to eat.
Still my tum begs for more
What yours for days has been denied,
For hunger there to roar.
Empty tummy twirls blank your eyes,
Then you fall down and faint.
Still you rise just to find...

MOTHER'S DAY POEMMOTHER'S DAY POEM
My Metaphor states: a bouquet of love, a garden of care,
Solemnly surrounds me with women beyond compare.
My wife, a partner, a friend, a mother, and a guide,
Nurtures with love and affectionate heart inside.
Big sisters, supportive, wise, strong and so kind,
Lead by example, with a good heart and sound mind.
Younger sister, sweet and a...

MOTHERS DAY CARDPoetry Soup Premiere Contest winner
MOTHER'S DAY poetry contest sponsored by Benjamin Bartley, April 2025
Morning starts early, before it gets light
Opening cupboards, to see what’s in store
Teachable moments, with wrong versus right
Hope grabs the car keys, then heads through the door
Early bird children, are making their way
Ready to take on, another school week
So many hurdles, to...

Neglected Ties
You shirk the weight of parenthood's call,
leaving your children to wither, unfed.
Are you a father, or mere specter of one?
A mother, or just a shadow that's gone?
While others nurture, educate, and guide,
you abandon your own to fate's tide.
Your concern lies with outsiders, it seems,
while your kin suffer, and your legacy beams.
The children you forsook, the...
