The Poem My Mother Used to Write Me

Tell me,

   have you ever 

      watched your mother,

on a cold afternoon—          when the sun is whispering

into the atmosphere thermals of sweltering sensations—,

sang a song that is so poetic?

for me,

   often times, 

      i hear the stanzas

of my mother’s poems—          those overwhelming verses that transcend

from the colourful pages of her pensive heart as she

passes through the travails of life.

Her forcedly

   induced wrinkles

      is a gleeful stanza

that comes—          from the platter of her heart, singing songs of

melancholy with verses that likened to a sizable sting 

From the apiary of bees.
