Thanks for the review. A mother's unconditional love, even if he is a little heathen. She knows the other side of him, the nightmares, that make him lash out. Cheers, j

Poet,

This poem is very sad, but addresses an issue that is prevalent in our society today -- bullying. I am glad you are bringing awareness to it with your poem.

Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the review. Even bullies have Mothers that love them, regardless and unconditionally. Cheers, j

Interesting, thought provoking poem.
What makes it especially interesting is the unusual juxtaposition of bully and console and hugs and heather, which is often used derogatorily. Excellent use of alliteration.

Thanks for the review. A mother loves unconditionally and even if her boy is a little bully, she understands and comforts him. The bad dreams, she knows fuels his behaviour. He maybe a heathen.....but he is her heathen, cheers, j
