Mother Love

I am not interested in contests and I don't write free verse, I'm a rhymer but with the June contest as an inspiration I write about my mum.

Mum,
mummy,
dearest love of my heart
you gave unstintingly of yourself
for me
for my siblings.
In the end you died violently
for that love.
You will never be forgotten

Mark, Loved,

Hello friends, I have taken Wesley at his word. He is more experienced in the world of poetry than I am. This was entered yesterday, or even the day before, I am not good at marking time.

Keith,

your brief poem is really quite touching. My mom died 55 years ago, and I never saw her in her final hours due to my obligation to Uncle Sam. A fine tribute to your mom.

Thank you Rula

Sorry I missed your post earlier. I thought that I had seen all comments. I'll try to remember to check again a few days later. Thank you for being so positive.
