Poet Lady Katz: new forum reply to Mom

New reply from Susan Katz

<p>Thank you for sharing your very thoughtful poem with me.  Your choice of topic is delightful, defining a "mom" – and you have some meaningful and touching lines that promote your message.  I would suggest you worry less about rhyme and more about imagery – as imagery s what makes poetry, poetry.  For example: "A kid can be explained well bad and good,…"  "A kid can be a thunder storm raging/ or sunshine on a summer day…"  Just a little example of how you can better reach your reader with images.  In poetry, we don't "tell" the reader, we show them through imagery.</p>
<p>I will consider your poem for Featured Poem of the Month for December and thank you for your interest in www.poetladykatz.com.  Your friend in poetry,Susan</p>

Mom

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Can a mom be good or bad?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Being a mom is news to be glad.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Sleep less nights are for both dad and mom,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Together they need time to get in form.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Ups and downs – plus and minus happens with a mom, </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Give her a chance too to get back to norm.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Why is mom only responsible for kids deed,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">There are different modes to grasp from outside feed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">A kid can be explained well bad and good, An individual makes his own choice glued to his mood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.4em;">Nuturing her kid to be good citizen is her lovable duty, Appreciation with token of love increases her beauty.</span></p>
