Mothers and Sons

I imagine that watching sons grow up is no easier in 2003 than it was three hundred years ago..


Poem Artwork

Muffled music emanates

From closed rooms.

You send silent computer messages

To unknown soul mates.

 Don't be so smug--

Native teens sent smoke signals

To  maidens

of dubious distinctions
In distant villages

before Pilgrims landed.


 Their mothers

just kept stirring bear stew,

nodding stoically.

Bess, excellent poem. When I was a kid we sent messages with smoke signals or by pony express until they graduated to homing pigeons. It was tough learning how to write small.(lol)
