 | A Mother’s Hands  [E] Eight line poem  |
| (4.5)   HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY!!! from "Anniversary Reviews"  Celebrating your writing this month with a review. Happy Account Anniversary Sumojo !There are some strong family roots in this poem and I do relate, and my mother was the same way. We kids were always kids to her, even though my brother and I thought maybe we'd get acknowledged as men. There's a learning curve in life. You offer an eight line poem that also is from the Say It In Eight activity. Unsure of the prompt, but jumps right in with both feet. "A mother’s hands, a mother’s touch, Gentle, caring, strong." This starts out with nice flow and rhythm that could begin to rock you, with those touching words for mother. Most poems can get off on that beat, but continuing in that cadence can be a bit of a struggle. It's not the smoothest sounding rhyming poem, but a second read through did help flatten out the bumps in my brain. The ending for me is strongest; and whether the poet knows it or not, speaks for mom. She needs to be needed and always playing that role, as it serves her. She doesn't want to be done parenting, all in for life. It's sort of sweet to note her sentiment as my mother did the same. And it's true, hard for them to give up the reins, and it's about being needed...purpose. And getting to be grandmother, the best, spoiling your kids. I'm rather fond of this and what you state. Poems like these are the hallmark of family poems which are great to share with loved ones, even frame, like this one. Sincerely, Brian WDC Account Anniversary and Angel Army Reviewer    My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
