Only a mother knows certain things. Only a mother can look at her child and know just what he/she needs. Once she is gone, she leaves a void no one and nothing can fill. This one touched me. Lydi**

"They say" Mothers have eyes in the back of their head...which makes this poem particularly amazing unless it is, of course, about Cousin " It" in which case kudos on that one too, for who can tell if cousin it was a boy or a girl? can you imagine ? Cousin "it" as a mom??????? ahh I gotta go to bed..

I have a friend, Helema, in one of my poetry rooms on FB who writes a lot of Senryu, which is the only reason I know what it is, lol. I have no formal training in poetry. I just write. Very nicely done, Jacob. :)

I suppose she is in some ways equivalent to mother earth. Follicles like trees, deep like wisdom. If that makes any sense.

Always an interesting read. :)
