Hi Mary:)
A perfect format for a minute poem. Great rhyme and cadence with a powerful message of bonded love. What love can be more endless than maternal love?

Love and Irish Hugs for good luck. I wish I had six more stars to share.

Roger

I love the picture with the poem. Is it deliberate that the font size is getting small towards the end? Love the direction your poem takes, not towards romantic love, but to motherly love.A lovely, gentle poem. :)

You have both 'bold' and 'normal' print on my screen, Mary.

Excellent imaginative rhymes.

I find this form very difficult to maintain a flow with the 'abrupt' 4-syllable lines, so tend to stay away from it.

Excellent theme about the most important and loving/loved figure in most of our lives.

I still think of with great love, and miss, my perfect mother, EVERY day - 22 years after she passed away.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray. xx

    Hi Ray,
    I just do not know how it happened, I hate the new site, I get claustrophobic the space for editing my work is much smaller. Now having said that it was my own fault for not checking it properly. Thanks for your review it is much appreciated as always. Mary

    No probs, Mary - I hate the new site, too, as most members seem to, but it seems we're stuck with it, either due to Tom's stubbornness, or his investment in it.

A solid minuite poem. I really enjoyed this write. It is tender and I felt the love and appreciated each verse. An endless love that only a doting and caring mother gives. It was a pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing it.
