A Mother’s Love — Spread the Love Challenge

Posted on March 28, 2015 by joey

It’s not that I do not write poetry, it’s that I do not share my poetry. I don’t write it for anyone, but today I did, per my assignment from Prajatka, at An Armchair Perfectionist, who challenged me to Spread the Love/ Love in Ten Sentences Challenge. I accepted, although, I found proper sentences to be quite a strain, so I used lines instead.
I like rules because I like to break them:

1. Write about LOVE in ten sentences of four words each

2. Share your favorite love quote

3. Nominate fellow bloggers

…

frog in my hand
boy-child impish, charmed delight

thumb in her mouth
caught a soft curl

flap hands, ask why
scrunched, freckled button nose

you can’t catch me
twinkle eyes flicker mischief

grow, grow, grow up
never always lose them

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” — Agatha Christie, The Hound of Death

I nominate any one of you to participate.

    I enjoyed this poem so much. When a friend of mine, Brenda of Friendly Fairy Tales (and poet) threw out the challenge, I could not stick to the four words in each line. But I posted it as, “Love is a Poem.” Yours was precious.

    Oh, Joey, I didn’t mean to sound like I don’t appreciate your poetry – the picture just took me back to childhood books. Your poetry is lovely; more would be great!
