My Only Published Poem (March Contest)

My friends wonder why
I don't often write
a poem about you;

"maybe she's not aware
of the Mother's day!"

"or maybe she doesn't care,"
they'd simply say.

They didn't know then
that you're the only
published poem I've
ever had
mother.

An excellent example

of free verse, something I wish I was better at. It is also brimming with love and pathos. It shows consummate skill the way you keep the winding up of the main point to very last word. Alone, the first and third verse make up a poem but the middle verse is a masterful inclusion.

Hello Keith

really appreciate your kind words. Been the first comment I'm getting today, I am not sure if anything will make my day better than your kind visit.
Thank you
