Congratulations, this poem deserved to be a winner. The limited poetic form is a challenge for any author. To be able to deliver a spot on message in so few words is a skill quite difficult to master. But you did it so well in this work.

Must agree with this poem. A very good entry. It should do well. Nothing is more precious than a child and a mother who love it. I find no fault. Best wishes.

This is the best of its kind that I have had the pleasure of coming across this far, it's true there is no love like a mother's, good words equals good work.

What a beautiful poem! You've packed volumes in this 3-5-3, revealing the wonderful world of motherhood. You even managed to rhyme in this short poem! Fantastic visuals here and a very well chosen artwork. Good luck in the booths, love, Y.

You've said quite a mouthful in so few words. This is so true and so timely since it will soon be mother's day. You've done an excellent job in expressing to the reader how truly special mother's are. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Comment from F Scott Hafner
And a fine entry just prior to mothers day. A powerful statement for a most delicate topic. Very well stated indeed. consider - like no other love. Gets away from the rhyme of mother and other. But I am not a big fan of rhyme - reminds me of elementary school and/or archaic times. Sometimes art forms move on. Seems least likely with writing. Maybe I define poetry as writing absent the constraints of grammar. Much more linguistic freedom to evoke thought and emotion.

Much appreciated.
Comment from happykat4
This is a beautiful 3-5-3 poem. The artwork used is so complimentary to the written words. A mother's love is something missed when they are no longer on this earth. (Even when you're grown and old yourself.). Best of luck in the contest. Kat

Indeed, nothing can compare to mother's love/affection; it's said that God cannot be everywhere, so He created a mother; you captured the essence of motherly love in this succinct and powerful write; thanks for sharing and good luck!

Comment from Thomas Bowling
God bless loving mothers. Many are not. Every day you hear sad stories of mothers who abandon their children. I sometimes think those are the lucky children who are abandoned by uncaring mothers. It may be their only hope.
