Greetings from the House of Mormont!
By participating in a Writing.com activity called "Game of Thrones" Open in new Window., I am in no way endorsing the GoT franchise or identifying as a fan thereof. I’m here to help my team win *Smile*

A beautiful and heartfelt poem expressing the memories of the narrator’s mother as she agonizes and coaxes her poetry into existence with her pencil.

I love how you’ve created these beautiful images of the lady hard at work with just a few key phrases, creative and unique. The metaphor of a roller coaster ride is indicative of the depth of emotion and feeling that went into the mother’s creations, and we understand the trepidation involved with being so vulnerable as to pour her heart out upon the page, sifting through the harsh realities of her life to create something that becomes a lasting legacy.

The metaphors employed create a rich sense of meaning in many layers, as we open with the phrase “plastic shopping bags in flight” to describe the free whirling escape of her words across the page, wild and yet cautious at the same time, as indicated by the closing line of the first verse, “unwilling to tell too much.”

We close the poem with an understanding of how much the mother’s poetry means to the child, as we see them clutching the papers close and feeling the shared sense of joy and escape that the mother did, leading to a stronger bond of love and respect, no matter the present distance between them.

The poem is arranged artistically, with carefully balanced lines that flow freely down the page and lead us smoothly through the memories. This is excellent poetry, and I really enjoyed reading it. Your teal Award Icon is well deserved.

Thanks for sharing, take care, and keep writing *Heartg*
