Poem Commentary

I really wanted to write something positive this time. So, of course, I did.

Mom Moving On

I wish mom could just move on.

Dad has. He’s long gone.

But she’s withdrawn

From the world of dating.

Instead she just sits there: hating.

Secretly waiting for him.

But the dog wants someone “slim”.

She says she needs more time,

To get over this seemingly victimless crime.

She tells me she’ll only date Mr. Right.

But how do you tell?There’s no shining light.

No neon-lighted sign that points the way.

No guy exists that will definitely stay.

This world has a tendency to lead people astray.

There’s no more time for brooding.

Put away the photos, no more deluding.

Comb your hair, Jump in the shower.

Your guy is waiting at the door with a flower.

This one can open up a whole new can of worms. Is it easier for the men to move on...or the women? If we get into emotional make ups and all that jazz...we have ourselves a debate. However, from the standpoint from which you wrote this...I agree that it is damaging to sit there and hold on when it is apparent that he isn't coming back. She should take that glimmer of hope and convert it into a guiding light into the future...kudos...may they be with you.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
