Why did she get that degree in Fine Arts,
Oh what a like total Loser.
It won’t do her any good.
And that time when the neighbours house burnt down,
She let the 5 kids stay with us until the house was rebuilt.
I had to share my bedroom.
What a loser Mum.
I remember that time when our Labrador, Jess, was
having 6 pups and was suffering with the birth.
Mum stayed up all night to care for her and the pups.
I mean what a total loser Mum.
Even my 21st. I had a few drinks with my mates and
I feel asleep on the front lawn.
She put a “Spiderman” blanket over me.
All the neighbours laughed at me.
What a total loser Mum.
That time she climb the old maple tree and recued the
tabby cat.Why did she do that?
Loser Mum.
I don’t understand why she was such a loser.

Walking in someone else’s shoes for a bit? Doesn’t really sound like confessional poetry per se… a tad more like narrating from someone else’s perspective. Perhaps I’m wrong but reminds me of that “yeah-nah” music video from several years ago now. 🙏🏻🕊
Yes you are right ,Thanks so much for your comments
Welcome, mate 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊️
Message recieved. Such a wonderful way to present it. I've been a kid, had kids and watched kids. We all are kids in one way or anothe and still growing. Growing out of ignorance hopefully and into understanding. Growing in empathy and understanding of love. A beautiful write
Thank you for your insight.You are rigtht Kids don't see the big picture
Taking you on the journey how when young you take everything for granted and feel a lot of what your parents do is pointless and stupid, arriving into maturity realising they were all acts of love, compassion and care. A lovely write
Exactly right.Mum was not stupid at all.Thanks for commenting
You are very welcome
Kids can be such a pain in the backside. Thankfully they grow up and learn to be more caring and sensitive towards their parents. This was the kid in you. Your mum was a diamond from what I can see. Enjoyed your words and thinking here David. Have a good day.
Yes indeed, kids don't see the big picture.Thanks for your honest insight.Mucho appreciado
