Reply To: Mom

[Susan Katz]

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.

I will consider your poem for Featured Poem of the Month for December and thank you for your interest in https://www.poetladykatz.com.  Your friend in poetry,Susan
