Description: I was watching my mom put my sisters to bed the other night, and I kept remembering how she used to do that when I was little. I was wishing that I could go back to that, for just a minute, but instead, I watch from behind.
Mommy Mommy,
Come quickly
The nightmares came again
The monsters in the closet leer at me
And the witch's cackles shrink my heart
Mommy Mommy,
Where are you?
When you should be here kissing away the remnants of fear
Telling the boogie man to go away
And watching the sandman rest my eyes
Watch out for the shadows Mommy
They aren't afraid of even you
Mommy Mommy,
Where have you gone?
As I tangle myself in knotted sheets
I heard voices in the other room
And I became brave Mommy, to help you
But there you were
Wiping sister's tears
Patting her sweaty cheek
Mommy Mommy
Sing me a lullaby
Croak an off-key note
Too bad you sang it Mommy
And I heard it through the drywall
this is sweet. written from the point of view of a little child which makes it very innocent. I can't think of any criticism. great poem, I liked it very much.
I liked this is very sweet and the topic isnt overused.I think it shows a little jelousy towards the smaller sister (maybe is just me coz thats how i feel all the time abt my little brother lol). Good Job.
I too liked how it is written as though a small child had pen in hand....I think maybe not jealousy...but rather you wish Mommy had more time to spend with you like when you were that young...I would call it missing those moments...How sweet and Mom is lucky she has a daughter so loving...Nicely done...Give your Mom a hug on Mother's Day and tell how you admire the love she gives you and your sister..Mothers get busy but they love all their children equally...Young ones sometime just take up more of your time...Desi
