Do you think my Ma will consider this a poem?

Question

For “Ma”

To One Who Mothers All

by Elaine Polin

I met a friend who lives far away

Perhaps she lives where night is day

Far, but close in Virtual Land

Of Questioners she’s in the band

I met her on the Web.

The web is tangled, strong and true

Woven with words by me and you

And by her! She has found that poetry

Unites the hearts of you and me

I am grateful to the Web.

This web devours not its writers

They work together, they are fighters

They speak of love, of hope and peace

Of future plans, their souls release

I meet real people on the Web.

Answer 1

I know Ma will love this. And Yes, We are all real people on the Web.

Answer 2

This virtual web is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. The trust we show (actual photo avatars unlike mine), never fails to made me smile and encourage me to realize that I am communicating with real people, not just random typists on the web. I love you all, and yes, I do believe that "Ma" will consider this a real poem. Rock on, Elaine.

Answer 3

Yes - Ma will consider it a poem.  She may not think it's a good poem.  But it IS a poem.  I can't say that agree with the point you make about the people you meet on the web.  There are weasels and thieves out there just like in real life.

Answer 4

Yes, she should, because it is well done. I think you are eager to dig into deep subjects and express your true feelings about them while preserving poetry standard. Good luck !  

Answer 5

A super poem !!!  I love the rhyme and most especially the message.  I agree with your tune.  We do meet real people on the Web.  

Answer 6

I'm sure Ma will love this. I'm thankful for the tangled Web too! =)

Answer 7

Yes she will, and I second your sentiment.  This Web is an amazing place!

Answer 8

One of those real people is you, anyone would be honored with your

words. Kudos

Answer 9

it is a nice poem

Answer 10

I think, NO, I know that she will !

~As one who ventured in this web

Extremely fearing spiders..

I've found friendly comradery

And I have become quite stuck~

Answer 11

sue she will

we mothers are all sentimental fools and love every thing our children do.

Answer 12

She will consider this gesture of kindness with the deepest of regards.

Answer 13

This web is tangled, yes indeed,

But it gives something that we need,

A place to read the things we crave,

A place to later rant and rave.

Those whom we meet become our friends,

And not just to some selfish ends.

We fall in love with each small hair,

That is because we really care.

And MA will love your pretty rhyme,

You do it well all of the time.

I wish you a morning filled with happiness and love, and send you a basket full of love to help start you off.

Answer 14

love it, nice rhyming

Answer 15

And remember, for the poet, caffeine is your friend...

Answer 16

Yes I do, and may I also say your words ring true (well, most of the time). This web family stands strong, always accepting of newcomers who share the same passion.

Thank you Elaine, I consider you one of the 'Mas.'

Answer 17

Its a cool poem.. & possibly consider it a poem because the title & its contents is an enigma. lol...=)

Answer 18

Ma is a keeper.....♥

Answer 19

With a little help and encouragement here of late, from people I haven't really ever met, I have been able to maintain some control over my virtual arachnophobia and am no longer afraid of "The Web" (though I'm still afraid of it's spiders).

Ma kicks butt!

Answer 20

Are you Irish

Answer 21

And none is more real than YOU.

Again you have opened the floodgates

with your poem so kind and TRUE.

You once said humility is NOT

an option among poets here,

yet within my answer, you'll find a LOT!

Hugs, ma

Answer 22

She will accept. Everything that comes from your heart and you compose it, it will definitely be greater than any other thing. And the poem rhythm :D

Answer 23

I bet Ma puts another pie in the oven just for you!

Answer 24

Is that avatar really you?? It's partially fug
