For me personally, J, beside the love of God, there is no greater Love than a mother and her child (ren). Wonderfully penned ...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Tiana, for your words,

j.

[Tiana]

My pleasure, J.

Only a mother knows certain things. Only a mother can look at her child and know just what he/she needs. Once she is gone, she leaves a void no one and nothing can fill. This one touched me. Lydi**

thank you for your words, Lydi...

"They say" Mothers have eyes in the back of their head...which makes this poem particularly amazing unless it is, of course, about Cousin " It" in which case kudos on that one too, for who can tell if cousin it was a boy or a girl? can you imagine ? Cousin "it" as a mom??????? ahh I gotta go to bed..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you're too funny...i loved when they would introduce Cousin It...."this is Cousin It" "What?"
"no, not What, It"

[Corset]

lol, it was great, I bet there are still reruns going somewhere!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

haven't seen any in a very long time...might have to order the series on dvd...

[Corset]

they probably have it on watchseries, but not sure

[Miss Sharon]

Well you summed her up quite nicely in these sparse words Jacob! ~Sharon

I have a friend, Helema, in one of my poetry rooms on FB who writes a lot of Senryu, which is the only reason I know what it is, lol. I have no formal training in poetry. I just write. Very nicely done, Jacob. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you don't need formal training to write good poetry, Suzanna...and you seem to do fine without that training...senryu and haiku are the only form poems i write...otherwise, just free verse...i find them fun and challenging...but also kind of natural.

thank you,
j.

[SJ Mullins]

Thank you for your kind remarks, Jacob. I tend to be my own worst critic. I guess you would say everything I write is free verse. ;) I love the way you write. Forever a fan, Suze

[SJ Mullins]

I haven't really been writing much lately. I am basically going back over what has already been written to correct mistakes or change lines, etc. I am not to keen on. I am a bit guilty of over editing. I have to watch myself on that.

[Jimmy Yetts]

In "She knew"
the senryu
woman's glory
tells the story.

Excellent craft frames profound perception.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind review, Jimmy.

I suppose she is in some ways equivalent to mother earth. Follicles like trees, deep like wisdom. If that makes any sense.

Always an interesting read. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, it makes perfect sense, Relic.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

[Surya]

She always knows what we need....And she Is the one and only gentle and kind loving soul I ever seen...:).

[jacob erin-cilberto]
