The Woman You Love

 Write, on “the woman you love the most”

Exhorts organizors of a “poetry contest”

Seeds sown for avoidable conflicts

Is one to choose between mother & spouse?

Or worse still- face dire consequences

If choice is from a shortlist !

 

Easier to celebrate womanhood

The one side of coin without which

The other side is incomplete, of no value

They can come in many ways and forms

A kind teacher at school, an aunt, grandmom

A friend who engages you in stimulating discussions

A doting daughter for whom you are hero

Surely, very challenging for many

To choose one over the other!

 

To my mind, mother Earth, the ever giving

Never complaining, epitome of love

In the form of trees, water, natural resources

Is the “Woman” I love the most! 

NB: Written for Million Muse FB Group Monthly poetry contest - March 2024
