I could not think of a single women
that could hold all the power given
from mother to grandmother and the great grandmother
I only know from portraiture
I could not form a single thought
that would honour the strong women
documented on family tree
spirit strong, family strong, men gone
The mother nature sings to me
giving much beauty and honesty
that lands with words, flies with breath
revealing life and death
MOTHER acrostic for Claire Rose
Many a long day in the garden
Only to have the bugs eat the leaves
The snails squashed underfoot
Her hair held back with cotton
Everyday was care and creation
Revealed in worn hands and quick wit
