We had a homework assignment which was to write a poem about either one of our parents and I chose my Mom, she was a little angry at me that day so I am glad this made her a little bit happy.
Feel free to critique it and tell me what I did wrong.
I'm particularly proud of this poem, and it's the first poem I've written that I'm proud of.
This is also my first post here. You're going to be seeing more of me here, I've been reading a lot which has inspired me to write a lot.
Mother
My life
without her
would be
tedious, mundane and bland.
She’s a small
sweet cocoon
that shelters
me
from the wild,
the evil and the foul.
Her smile
glows like the radiant sun
that lights
up the earth.
I wish I can and
relive
all the precious
moments I spent with her
and I hope
they live eternally.
She’s a
voluminous tree
that keeps me
shaded
from the wet
and stormy nights.
Her hugs are like
shields
that keep
away enemies.
Her eyes are flowing
rivers
of burnt
umber paint.
She’s a never
ending basket of joy
that lifts my
spirits.
Her love is
immortal and vast
and stronger
than the force of gravity.
