OOOPs! I won't even ask, just in case my head get's bitten off! LOL, dear me, Debra, are you having a bit of an off day? At home, at work or on here? Hmmm, I said I wouldn't ask, didn't I? I guess you can never stop me being nosey! Cheer up, my friend!! :) Sandra/

    My mother taught me that what ever I do or say. do it like a lady. so I get my harsh meaning across with a pleasant smile. it's like killing people with kindness. LOL.

your few words portray well the way you feel and you are letting all know about it

good imagery
good use of "L" "M" consonance
good use of "O" "A: assonance
good use alliteration in
bloody, boat
mamma's mad

flows easy to understand
cheers Smoothiecool

    They sure do Sonali..... the kids didn't cause the storm this time - sometimes, family get it so wrong... :(
    Well, I've said my piece, they've listened.... hopefully there won't be a repeat.
    Kindest regards as always, Debra x

clever pairing of artwork and poem, which is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
good use of enjambment
great imagery
excellent alliteration in all three lines
I love the impassioned tone, which will resonate with lots of mothers :-) Brooke

I love the picture. It does look like the storms children can create. The Mom steps in and there is a worse storm. The seas become calm until the next time. Great work.

Go on-get it out-loud as you want. Should be all capital letters for the shouting though. Hope the storm is over now and smooth sailing ahead for the rocking boat.

Well let's hope the waters are much calmer now Debs.
I'm a mumma myself and I know what you mean about standing up and protecting the little ones. It's instinct and we can't be blamed for that.
Profound feelings exclaimed here in short form. Well conveyed. You are ONE pissed off mamma! Hope you get it sorted.
Hugs P

This work has reached the exceptional level

Thanks for this from-the-heart- poem.

There's nothing like a rant.
Liked the direct style,
and the expressive language,
because things often go wrong.

Short, sweet and witty.

As I don't know the reason, am very cautious about being witty in return.

A true story:
Friday, got text from library .
Book overdue.
Went to library. Computer error, as I knew.
Saw a new addition on the new additions shelf.
- Rushdie's 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories.'
Got home, read some, funny.
Then googled him to find he is 13th best author UK since 1945.
Top is Philip Larkin.
Guess where he lived.
Hull!
So wife and I plan to have a short break in Hull mid April to check him out!
All of that out an erroneous text!

    Hi Richard :) Thanks for your great feedback, sensitivity and generous 6 star award! I appreciate it. Great story about your over due library book error resulting in a planned trip to East Yorkshire! We're near Wakefield in West Yorkshire about 40 mins away!

Great alliteration in every line which is awesome for just 17 syllables. What rocked your boat? Don't know, but I feel the heat in your words. Poetry is a great outlet for our emotions. Well vent-crafted. Les
