Poetry Assingment

I was raised by

blonde hair, bright eyes

stay-at-home mom in Milwaukie

kind of mom.


Some occasional "shit" swearing

"clean your room" yelling,

glass breaking

kind of housewife.


Some no sleeping,

trips to Haiti,

new babies

kind of midwife.


Some day and night fighting

"get the hell out of here"

third times the charm remarrying

kind of wife.


Some sunny days swimming

movie watching, random girl days

kind of friend.


Some Christmas traditions

and children's books

loving, caring, generous

unconditional love

"I love you to the moon and back"

kind of mama.
