Did you know something about your mother?
Mothers, of all ages and sizes, have wings.
You didn't know, that they had these things?
How did you ever think they do it all,
the gentle noises they make, when you fall
and bruised your knee as a kid,
The wings made those quiet sounds - they did!
When Mothers seem to be all places at once,
their wings carried them - I had this hunch,
when I thought I saw Momma in three different ways,
being nine seperate places on three seperate days.
Cleaning and cooking and bustling with a shout,
Did you really think that's what a Mother's about?
A Mother-wing can't be seen, but it's felt,
No better equipment has ever been dealt,
for Mother-wings fly, and can shelter and save,
and can whomp on your bottom if you misbehave,
But Mother-wings are only from Heaven above,
on loan from an angel, presented with love,
and are issued with each little child in arm,
so that Mothers can work without causing alarm,
So, listen in silence, when your thoughts are on her,
because, even tho' she's near or far, do not stir
if, just by your ear you hear fluttering, you
will know it's just Mother-wings - watching for you.

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)
Fog
THE fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Sorry about the double post.
The first response said, "The page can not be displayed"
I knew that was Sandburg, but then, he carried a lot of weight. Broad shoulders, you know.

Thanks NicknamedBob. The page I got the poem from didn't credit an author.

"The page I got the poem from didn't credit an author." Is there any way you could let them know? I'm sure Sandburg would appreciate it.
You never know what influence he could still be having. Anyone who can write poems about Chicago, could possibly be putting in a good word for Earth, up in Heaven.

I liked your poem.
"There is a rat in separate." -- (Author unknown, at least to me.)
Try to be forgiving. Did you like the graphic that went with it? That's one of the things that makes the poetry stand out here.
Come back and bring a poem. Don't forget to sign it.

A Woman's Song
A Woman's Song
Hark to the heart of a woman's song! Hark to the sound of sorrow! Hear her wailing in the night air? Agony so deep night creatures hear, cringe with pain! Hark to the heart of the woman's song!
Hark to the sound of happiness...
Hear the laughing in the moor and bog of ancient days, careening down the valleys of time. Hark to the sound of a mother singing softly-- to the child she holds near her heart.
Oh Heart of my Heart, I love you with all my breath and life!
Heart of my Heart.
My four daughters, fair, the RJ's of my life. When you were babes in arms, I but a child myself, I did love and cuddle you, sometimes I was scared, for you, for us I could all but hold on.
Hark to the song of a woman's heart, seasoned and tempered by assaults of life. Salted in brine of experience and tears. Marked by skin stretching across the bone of contention. Of ignorance and superstition, of damnation!
Hark to the sound of a grandmother's heart singing praise, joy, happiness, for the battle was worth it.
