She lived a flower arrangement routine
Details, twines, pin holder perfection
I box flowers in confused bursts
tiger lily’s unabashedly preen
peony’s skip in affection
embarrassing edges wilt with thirst
She taught with the skills of a practitioner
Brought a capable introverted stability
I teach work as worship
agile, evolving as an exhibitioner
bursting in interaction vs her brevity
my motherhood an entrepreneurship
She was preceded by the fragrance of her reputation
Herbs, sauces, mixes framed a culinary infrastructure
I cook in random experiments
my pots and pans fighting a rescue operation
my hands knead batter but are trained to sculpture
time affordability not allowed to be an impediment
She converges us to a center, I signal a divergence
She distills our opinions, I extricate through absorption
She is the window to my space, I hold the door to their dreams
She sacrifices with regulation, I indulge to test rebellion
She converges to a center i signal a divergence -explains beautifully the compare and contrast-
the central theme of this poem Mothers -and daughters- & then daughters becoming mothers to their young daughters . Convergence and divergence of a new type in the new generation But the bondage and Love is permanent
You can spin a charming web around any theme – which make you a magician of words . Lovely
Papa
