To Mom Tuesday April 26th

 What more could you give and then you give more      That luxury that was my misery       Lets self absorption feed itself its core      But you give inspiring synergy     A dual purpose to awake the dull     Shadows hanging almost clinching the brow     Hear the fingers of remembrance call     Pry off the white knuckled grip on the now   I feel the past grow freshly in the mind   Ceded from my thought, seeded to my thoughts      wading through the streams of consciousness    Views in the netting where our past is sought   Turning over these reflections grew   memories blossoming with gratitude

I recall, much to the sowing of your piece; my mother in ways beyond the everyday package of "mother." Your piece is nebulous enough to be specific, and specific enough to expand to areas often forgotten. I do miss my mother, and my father for that matter; but what remains is much as you have guided us. This is a very fine tribute, to our mothers.

Simply beautiful. You have engaged the reader with the utmost "passion" of poetry in each word choice through each of your verses. There are so many emotions that are felt within this piece. Love, longing, lessons, reflections, and honor stands out in complete concise well written lines. There is nothing I would change in this poem as I find the whole poem very unique, thought provoking and well worth noting for on my list of favorites for April. blessings, Deni

James, This is lovely for Mothers day. You show your appreciation and love throughout. The rhyme is good and it flows well and has nice balance. I would love it if my son wrote it for me. Wonderful job. Dellena
