Love Mother
birthday cards
I can’t throw away
Margaret Mahony
each day I sit
and talk to you—
scattered ashes
Lorraine Haig
rag doll
she says grandma’s
gone away
Gregory Piko
autumn cold snap
mum rubs
my aching hands
Peter Macrow
plainly knitted
Dad’s birthday slippers
stuffed with chocolates
Jane Williams
scent from
the orchid’s hidden flower . . .
my garden’s gift
Nathalie Buckland
