Mom

Hi Kristina,
This is a very nice and touching tribute.  I know we all have different and special relationships with our mothers but you gave us a glimpse at the love you share. There is a comp that just opened up and I think this would be a great entry.
Welcome to DUP.

Thank you wallyroo. I never would have expected a recommendation to enter a competition. That really made me feel good.

Superb tribute, no one could ever argue about that. I wrote one too about my Mum, like you have, filled with love & admiration.  

Yours was just...perfect.  ;-)

Thank you Billy. It is really nice to get your comment. I will definitely look for the one you wrote. :)

A  wonderful poem of your best friend. Brilliant writing and urging you to write more. Well done,

Thank you adagio. I never really expected such a great comment. It really makes me feel good. :)

Awww, that was really wonderful, loving, and sweet ❤️

Great first poem, KristinaX! You should put that in a card for your mom for mother's day :)

Thank you NewBeginnings. It is so wonderful to get comments from such great writers, it has really surprised me. That is a great suggestion and I will be writing it down to give to her. :)

Nice write ... welcome to DUP ...

Thank you LilDragonFly. There is so many great writers. I will definitely read some of yours soon. :)

Hi Shannon, welcome to the site,  this is a lovely tribute to your Mom it made me think of my poem "Behind Your Eyes" which I posted yesterday for my Mum, they sound a lot alike! :)

Thank you Morganpoet. I will definitely be reading yours. 'Mum', you make me the miss the UK even more. :)

Thank you Timagination for your comment and the welcome. It seems like a really great place. I am looking forward to reading more. :)

beautiful piece

Thank you gifteth. I am glad you think so. :)

Straight from the heart.

Thank you buddydog. This was definitely straight from the heart so I am glad you felt that. :) And that is one adorable dog.

Well, if you weren't a writer, you've just become one. Great poem.

That is such an amazing comment to me. Thank you PittinixDesigns.

Brava, Kristina! This is a beautiful tribute to your mom and a mother's love. The idea of rushing to her side is very touching. My mom is currently in need of support and comfort and it's so hard to do so, adequately, from a distance. Does your mom write poetry?

Thank you GW, I am glad you found it very touching. I am so sorry to hear that your mom is in need of support and that you cannot be there in person but I am sure she knows how much you want to be. I hope she feels better. Actually my mom is also dealing with something, medical, at the moment so I understand the need for support and comfort. She does not write poetry or at least not that I know of.

Yeah, in my case, my dad's in hospital, going home tomorrow and she has thg o shoulder all the responsibility for his care  because of Corona...and she's 72. I am sorry your mom's unwell. You're  a good daughter I can tell. I think my kids would trip if they read some of my stuff 1😁 You're  awesome❣❣

It is good he is going home but hopefully it will not be to much on your mom. My mom has an appointment on Friday and I always get anxious before those.

Why do you think they would trip? I definitely need to read more now. lol

I've written a lot of erotica, love poems etc.

Sweet. This will be perfect inside a mothers day card.

Thank you LS, I did give it to my mom. :)

Hi, Kris

Thank you for sharing this with me when I had not even visited it on this page.  "Mom's the word" [not "mum's the word," in this case!].  Because mother means the world to me, your poem falls easily on my ear and into my heart.  I daresay, your beloved mom would want to frame and hang this piece for easy retrieval, knowing that every time she saw the words the truths behind them were alive in her daughter's heart.

Obviously the product of a happy home, you find yourself returning to the evidence in these lines:

"You are the reason for my big smile" [stanza 3, line 2]
"I always want to see my reflection in your smiling eyes" [stanza 4, line 4]
"you will always/be the reason I have such a big smile" [stanza 5]

Who said you were not a poet or writer, anyway?!
In case you are not, your poem came out alright, nevertheless.
And that what makes you a poet and a writer -- weaving poetic eloquence from the heart and not from the head!

Yours sincerely

I am really happy you think it came out alright, especially considering it was the first thing I wrote here. :) If writing from the heart helps then that is something I am able to do.  💖 💖

A fitting tribute to your mom. I'm sure you made her day, month, year when she read this.

Like the lottery, the surprise was getting all the numbers, and hitting the $miilion plus poet / daughter.   I'm sure she is the reason for your smile, she did pay for all those dentist visits! : )

Welcome to DUP. I think you got a chance at being a pretty good poet!  : )

She definitely loved it. She was my first inspiration to post something here.

Wow, that is a really beautiful thing to say; I don't know what to say to that. xoxo ... Haha, oh yes the dental visits... Fortunately she taught me to take great care of my teeth.

lol, you really reached all the way back. But thanks for the Welcome. lol I don't know if I have a chance at all.

Love through and through
Beautiful sentiment
I want to see that BIG SMILE

BIG LIKE

Love the love... Wow, this seems like a eons ago. Back when I was only going to write this one thing and nothing else. :) Thank you for taking me back... I am so happy you felt it was beautiful sentiment. I am smiling... ;) Love the BIG LIKE.

I decided to go back to the 1st poem you submitted through DUP. This is wonderfully written and touching. A beautiful poem to give to a mom for any day of the year. You are really good at your craft.

Wow, all the way back to the first poem. :) I have really opened up more since then... I am so happy you thought it was wonderfully written and touching. This poem means a lot to me because my Mom meant the world to me. Thank you so much for taking a moment to step back and share such wonderful feedback with me. I really appreciate it.
