My Silent Poem
My heart screams with the yearning
To express these feelings
Of motherhood, love, and family.
They are there deep within
But the rest lacks talent.
Pearson or Poe I am not
but the feelings are no less intense.
As the sea is within the shell
They roar within my heart
And unless you are very close
You cannot hear.
Priorities
(As I remember, I wrote this one when I was longing to replace our old, worn couch.)
"Krissy, come quick!
Look at this gorgeous sky!"
"Gorgeous!" she exclaims as she
stands on the much-worn couch,
peering out at the brilliant sunset.
Why spoil moments such as these
with a new couch
that must not be soiled
by little feet?

Beautiful! I especially like the second one! Short, succinct, and so true. I think you should have won.
Good job! You are a writer! Blogs, poems you do nice work! I would vote for you if I were on the selection committee!
Thanks for sharing those! And I agree, you should have won. You're a great writer and I always look forward to reading your new blog posts.
Ditto. The second one especially resonates with me. I feel like that all the time-- I just need to enjoy the little moments we get as mothers!
Such sweet sentiments and so well stated! Fun to run on to long- forgotten little gems!
Perfectly said.
