In Mother,my goddess

PreviousNext

Mom, the epitome of love,
A creation by god,
She is the waterfall of kindness,
She is as strong as a mountain,
Just as a mountain that blocks the obstacles,
She too blocks the obstacles and protects her children;
She is like a soldier who fights for her children,
She is as strong as fire,
Maybe fire is weaker than her,
She knows only to sacrifice,
Only to give but not take;
Like a flower that beautifies a plant,
She is like a flower that beautifies her children,
Like a plant that needs sunlight,
Her children too need her,
To become radiant and to shine,
Losing her is like losing life,which will never return,
Unfortunately She is only one,
No one could replace her,
She is mortal,
But through her deeds she becomes immortal...

Fantasydragon01 here.
I love this poem here. It is very touching. I love my mother dearly, and I think that all mothers have a huge responsibility in life. They deserve a big, fat "thank you". It is a good that you wrote this. I hope this will inspire many.
Good job and keep writing!
Very truly yours,
fantasydragon01.

Well Divya, this is my first time to review a poem so I'll give it a shot. O
Oh and let me start off by saying that your profile pic is fantastic. Ok here we go.
Your title leads on to the general idea behind the poem, but still leaves us searching for what's in front if you will.
I think my favorite aspect to this is the way the poem builds upon itself.
For example

"She is as strong as a mountain,"
good simile
Then you further your explanation with

"Just as a mountain that blocks the obstacles,"

"She too blocks the obstacles and protects her children;"

Piling the same little words on top of each other makes a mountain (lol) of description which I'm sure is what you were going for but I really like it. Very easy to read and as you read it this way it seems to flow in the mind with good steady rhythm.

The sentiment is great and I'm in tears because all mothers should know that their children see them like you do.

Very well written
Very organized
Very beautiful

this is a good piece and it expresses your heart filled emotions. but i would like to do a few nitpicks however-
"mom" in the first line sounds a little odd. i assume here you are trying to add a personal to your work but all mothers are almost the same. i suggest you use " mother" instead, that also makes your poem sound defining a particular category.
"She is like a soldier who fights for her children,", i think using "child" in place of children would be more appropriate as each individual child is treated by a mother with same love
"Like a flower that beautifies a plant,
She is like a flower that beautifies her children,", i get what you mean but at places your thoughts are disconnected. you can rather put this line as "as a flower that beautifies a plans,
she is that very one who beautifies us"
"Like a plant that needs sunlight,
Her children too need her,"i find a similar error here as i told just in the previous place, i suggest you write " a plant needs sunlight to grow,
to us she is the sun which we need"
sorry is i am a bit rude, i am here after long so kind of lost touch.
you have potential and a few refining would make you good to sail fair,
keep writing

Hi, Divya!

This is a great poem, structurally and idea-wise. It's so great, actually, that I'm gonna have to nitpick a bit. Is that okay? :P

Title: Mother, My Goddess is a beautiful title. Only thing is, try to watch out for capitalization, etc. ;) There should be a space between words and capitalized first letters. Also, commas in titles can sometimes be a little confusing. I'd recommend a good colon.

Line by line:

Mom, the epitome of love,


I think you may want to use a slightly more specific phrase here that still gets your message across. What about something like, "Mom, the quintessence of warmth". (I literally came up with that by searching synonyms of the words you used. :))

Also, you use "mother" and "mom" interchangeably. From the formal tone of this poem, I would assume that mother would be your choice... but anything you want.

A creation by god,


Capitalize "God". Also, you may want to use a possessive here ("God's most perfect creation", etc. :)).

She is as strong as a mountain,
Recommend taking this line out. The next lines you have make the same metaphor and are more powerful.

She is like a soldier who fights for her children,


You don't need the "like". Your mom is a soldier! :D

Maybe fire is weaker than her


Awkward phrasing/grammatically incorrect, but awesome idea. Try, "maybe stronger". :)

Only to give but not take;


Just to break this line up a bit, what about "only to give--not take--" or something like that. I dunno. :)

Like a flower that beautifies a plant,


Maybe try using a phrase like, "Like a flower beautifies a thorny stem", etc. Give us imagery!!! (I know you can, you're an awesome/beautiful writer.

She is like a flower that beautifies her children


Not a simile, it's a truth! (Take out the "like". :))

"Unfortunately She is only one,"

Did you mean to capitalize "she"? If so, great. If not... :P

But through her deeds she becomes immortal...


Great ending (although I would replace "immortal" with "a goddess"--nitpicks... don't listen to me)! But if this is truly about your mom, may I suggest leaving a message at the end, like:

"But through her deeds she becomes a goddess...

We'll always love and cherish you, Mom." Or something like that.

--

Other than those nitpicks, I have one more suggestion (just one, I promise)!

This whole poem is a run-on sentence. It makes it look cool when you see it, but it's a bit hard to read out loud/absorb. Maybe use stanza breaks, extra punctuation, etc.? Just a thought.

Anyway, great job!

Keep writing,
