A French sonnet for Mother's Day.
Ma mère --
Une belle femme,
Résolvez tous les dilemmes.
Vous êtes singulière.

Une femme confiante --
Vous êtes mon fort,
Et à moi, ma mère, vous êtes mon confort.
Vous êtes très importante.

Tu es plus de mots je sais comment dire,
M'inspire á rire et écrire.

Tu es Maman --
Tu es toujours ici
Pour moi, et maintenant,
Tu mérite quelque chose spécial, "Je t'aime et merci."

(My mother --
A beautiful woman,
Solving all the problems.
You are remarkable.

A confident woman --
You are my strength,
And to me, my mother, you are my comfort.
You are very important.

You are more than the words I know how to say,
Inspiring me to laugh and to write.

You are my Mom --
You are always here
For me, and now,
You deserve something special, "I love you and thank you.")


N.B. This follows a more French structure of a sonnet which is the rhyming scheme ABBAABBA CC DEDE. However, as noticed with the second quatrain the structure is broken, now making it ABBACDDC EE FGFG.
N.B. Reviews: I realize the difficulty in reviewing a French poem (if you don't know the language) so if you're stuck then try just the English part ignoring rhyming schemes.
