This Woman, Mary

All she bore

Never made

Her sore

 

Her yoke was light

And gave delight

 

Her beauty shown

As her baby

Took earth’s throne

 

Left out in the

Cold to give birth

Yet everlasting warmth

Came from her girth

 

She smiled a thankless job

Yet never frowned when

Her son was mobbed

 

She was an

Ordinary wife

But she lived an

Extraordinary life

 

She is

The Virgin

Mary

a great ode to the virgin mary! It reads very well and the beat is great, it slows towards the middle around stanza 4 which impacts and then it speeds up! great read!

This is wonderful, you did a great job on honoring Mary with your poem.

she definitely draws the most inspiration for women with children - no one can live up to it but we can draw strength from her story.

Although far from reverent, I don't think that the writer intend to offend or blaspheme. Anyway, the main strength of this piece is probably that it seems to portray the miraculous birth using modern expressions and in a simple way. The title is poor. Marie can write better poems than this, when she makes the effort. Keep writing!
