Happy Mother's Day

I killed my mother earlier today,

It was Joy who made me do it,

after such heart rending kind renditions,

I felt it would be cathartic.

 

I killed my mother this very morning,

Aiden showed me the way

to finally find an appropriate time

for respect, remorse and goodbye.

 

It was an apt action on Mother's Day,

a suitable show of devotion,

the final sacrifice she made for her child

would be an enduring message of love.

 

 

 

 

 

Note for the concerned, my mum is 200 miles away and I just spoke to her on the phone.

I'm in the same boat as Mr Mountain, without the note it would be very alarming but on a structure point of view, Alison - I really enjoyed this (Nice balance) x

Hmm... interesting idea. I rang my mum (She is 80) and said 'I love you' I canot ever remember saying this! Maybe I am going soft or maybe I have found the right road at last. Win x

I'm glad you rang and hope you've shown her the poem, it reads beautifully, although without your note it would be somewhat alarming - David
