Me

A woman

with golden hair

emerald eyes

high cheekboned

from the Celtic clan

once known.

 

A sculptress

who molds

with molten iron,

ropes and

scented wax.

 

A poetess

who lingers

upon the pages

of les livres

everyday in hoping

to find the words to say that...

 

A Mother

is what is the best of me

kisses throughout your ages, son

my only one

and my true heart and soul walk

about with his tender feet

upon the earth

that is that which makes me,

Me.

 

 

Reviews

proud, vulnerable, living a life of service, ordinary simple, personal, and profound and all beneath the text, hidden in personal metaphors which captured you in the moment, like candlewax, or clay, or a mother's steel will, a poet's eternal heartache

[Arthur Henn]

From the heart of your soul
the sensuality, walking gracefully
among the clouds of being a woman

The poetess you are
shows the importance of your life
that being a
"Mother"
a mother your are

"A Great One At That"

Oh, I so agree! This is lovely. Of all the things I am, the one that I celebrate the most is being the mother of my two kids! It makes me the best me. They make me want to be the best me too. This is a nice proclamation here!

You place motherhood above all other accomplishments. I must concur with your assessment ivor
Just as I place fatherhood as fiirst and foremost of my attainments
Parenthood is a heavy responsibility

[The Autumn Faerie]

J'adore les livres!

Good thing that's the only French you used, because that's probably the gist of what I learned...

Good work here, though!
