Moon Fish Poem

This is a poem about how out of control I feel as a mother.

2025/3/31 Edited to

... Read moreMotherhood often feels overwhelming, a rollercoaster of emotions that many can relate to. In 'Moon Fish,' the poet expresses these sentiments through vivid imagery and a playful tone, inviting readers to ponder the beauty in life's chaos. The lines reflect a common struggle: balancing responsibilities, aspirations, and the unfiltered joy of being a parent. With references to 'fish swimming in clouds,' the poem communicates a whimsical escape from the mundane. The interplay of humor and profound insights resonates with parents everywhere, as we often find ourselves prioritizing moments of joy, like chocolate cake over homework. This connection to the playful yet chaotic nature of motherhood allows readers to find solace in shared experiences. Moreover, embracing imperfections, whether it's messy dishes or forgotten PTA meetings, becomes a celebration of life itself. Poetry, in this sense, becomes a powerful tool for expressing the complexity of emotions and the beauty of candid moments that define our parenting journeys.

A Poem for Soft Tummy Girls 🫀
It was believed that the most beautiful women, goddesses, were to have fuller figures and round faces. Look at any statue of Aphrodite and she has a tummy, round cheeks, and often a softer double chin 🫀 The goddess in the first slide was exactly that, a goddess, rolls and thighs, and all 🥰 #godd

Poem: Sadness is a Parasite
Sadness Is a Parasite Sadness is a parasite— it drains joy quietly. It starts small: a bad day, a forced smile. But it grows. It multiplies, spreads, sinks into every corner of your mind. Even sunlight turns gray. Bad days become weeks, then months, then years. Forced smiles fa

A poem for moving on
When I first read this poem I thought I was being watched because I relate to this poem so much. Although I feel like this poem in a way helps people who relate move on from the past. Because in the end, you will end up finding the right person even if it feels like you won’t.
