That is an unexpected twist! What a great poem, even without your wife proofreading. Lol. I very much enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest!!

Oh yes indeed, mothers are still mothers, and even though the marriage is no more the mother never loses that role. So well done Bill, for honouring the mother of your children, good rhyming poem, good job, blessings Roy

Welcome Bill
Comment from judiverse
You've called attention to another job for mother--proofreader. I remember both my grandmothers, but no great-grandmothers. It's great if a child gets to know great-grandparents. You did a great job of remembering the mothers in your life. Cute illustration. Best of luck in the Mother's Day poetry contest. judi

Good work Bill. It was not perfect, but it was good enough to pass as government work. Even though it is not. My wife acts as both my editor and chief critic. Though she does a good job, I still manage to screw up quite often. Wives and moms, what would we be without them? Short answer, we would not be, because no man I know could bear to go through childbirth. I have seen a live birth or two, and there is no way I am going through that ever!

Comment from BethShelby
This is a really neat Mother's day poem that tells us a lot about your family and that all the Mother's mentioned were cherished. Your poem was delightfully rhymed up to the last two line stanza which I assume you deliberately didn't rhyme. You could have said "cherished all the time and it would rhymed. LOL

Hello!
I love this piece and the fact that you incorporate all the mothers and not just one single one. I also love your clever line that you definitely meant to put there! Great job. Thank you for sharing.

Bill,
Strange (and a wee bit sad) you might think you need to tell folks that, my poet-king. If they are familiar with your sizzling wit and fun humor, they KNOW, right???
Cool dad + cool mom = ...
... well, other cool stuff I'm sure. You'll have to tell us about it!!
Go, Team RYAN!!

OIoh, YAY!
GOO TEEAAM RHYME!

I like the quirky unrhymed couplet with which you deliberately rounded off this poem of love and affection for the mothers in your life. It's great that you went back in time as far as you could. The artwork is a hoot!
Best of luck in the prompt.
Stay safe and blessed, Julia
