Getting restless
Had no sleep
Then I hear the baby weep
Feed him slowly
Slurp slurp slurp
Then he lets out
One big burp
Sucking on a dummy
Snore snore snore
Being a mother
Makes your eyes so sore
All of the experiences
Crawl crawl crawl
To watch them growing
Tall tall tall
Their first step
Walk walk walk
Their first word
Talk talk talk
Being a mother is
Great great great
Even though you stay up
Late late late
It is the one position
I will never vacate

Hello Kate, I think this is wonderful! I love the form of the poem. I think it is very clever and the repetition of lines like Great, great, great really add to the enjoyment I got from reading this. I think you have learned a great deal from Linda as she is a poet I very much admire. Looks like I'll be adding your name to my 'specials' list. Excellent, Moya Oh, and the last two lines sum up the title of the poem beautifully!

Oh. Keep this going and maintain the symmetry. The last line MUST be; Kate Kate Kate.

If it were my poem, the last lines would be: For I love my little Kate Kate Kate Linda

The simplicity of this poem defies its brilliance, and making something appear simple and readable is no easy matter. You’ve pulled it off with aplomb. Great easy rhyme, well done, loved it, young mother! Trev
