, , A Mothers Anger

Rating: 3.2


you....!
issue ofmine
borne with love,
birthed with care;
i look at you now
the naughty gleam in your eye,
as your worrisome ministrations
wreck havoc with all order.

i look and marvel
at the miracle of your evolution..
from gurgles to mumbles
and thence to comprehensions;
the actions with anger
tempered by the pouts
which dissolve my resolution to be firm.

you, little bundle of joy and woe
all atwitter in a fit of
infantile anger..
i look at you, bewildered
marvelling, as a mother
at what God had me do!


inspired by my year half old daughter who has the strange power to drive me to tears and then be smiling thru them as she licks my face like a little loving poodle!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

from gurgles to mumbles and thence to comprehensions Though I hate the flaky hype; primarily created by media, about mother’s day. But had there been a way to surmount my abhorrence and dedicate one poem and have it published in Dawn it had to be this poem, but alas they don’t deliver any newspaper in heaven. May Allah bless you Wardha for penning this gem. This poem deserves to be written in rubies and emerald no- it deserves something even better- your pen - hey wait ….

i look and marvel at the miracle of your evolution.. from gurgles to mumbles... A few lines from Morning Song are recalled to mind as i was reading these lines: Your mouth opens clean as a cat's.The window square Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try Your handful of notes; The clear vowels rise like balloons. A natural poem, no doubt!

Mothers are reflection of God's love on earth True, sincere and selfless. I wish no one has to go through the pain and agony of losing them so soon. All your medals and achievements become lifeless without HER. My salute and hats off to all these beautiful angels called mothers. 10++++

i look at you, bewildered marvelling, as a mother at what God had me do! beautiful! @above love speaks, resounds, radiates from your verses and it's titled 'a mother's anger' :) so next time my mom's angry with me, I'll just think she loves me more! thanks for this great poem. smiles.
