Funny how finding someone you thought you needed to fill a void instead didn't. Sad to say, but some people just should never have been a parent in the first place. The irony of this is powerful.

A wonderful Lune poem, heartwrenching in the search for a mother who is found but cannot provide love. The syllable count is spot on and the subject is very powerful - I think you will do well in this contest.

This is a thought-provoking poem. The author creates a very readable piece for the reader in this story. It is well laid out and formatted. This reads well and grabs the attention.

Sometimes reality just flat out sucks! Your story breaks my heart. The reader wonders what the mother's situation was that caused her to have to give you up. It probably was not out of hate, but more out of knowing she was in way over her head. It's sad when people conceive children they can't keep. In spite of that set back in life, I hope you are dealing with those demons from the past. All my very best, Ridley

Thank you for your author notes, it makes this Lune so powerfully meaningful, I was a war refuge , my mother was a widow with four children, she did not abandoned me, but I was at three in an orphanage, and ten years in a convent of retired nuns , i was the only child living there, with day school, I did see other children, she visited when she could, but lived 12 hours away. So I relate to some degree. But completely understand. Big hug. Good luck in the contest. Pili

With very few words, this poetry tugs at the heart. The
emotions are powerful and the sentiments are sincere.
The attached photo is a nice accent that enhances the
message. Thank You for your creation.

Such a difficult poem to write, in more ways than one. Even more difficult to have lived it, I imagine. Your pain is palpable in this excellent Lune poem, a worthy entry for the contest. My sister-in-law Christine was given up at birth. She found her mother fifty years later and was again rejected. When the mother was told of Christines' death five years later, she cried. I don't understand that.

Good luck in the comp. Regards, Jan

    What we feel on the inside is often different then reality. She was crying for what she felt real or imagined. Sometimes when we we don't have what we need we imagine it and the imagination can be more powerful then reality.

Such a search is always a perilous undertaking and often ends in disappointment. I was adopted and my natural mother found me a few years ago. In my case it has worked well. Your poem is very affecting and expresses well your feelings when experiencing what very few people have to face.
