Wonderwoman!
Able to jump three weeks of laundry
In a single bound
Grocery shop, make meals
And scream without a sound
Help with homework
Help find sneakers
Help clean messes
Help wipe tears
Help at school
And Help keep peace
Won't someone
Help her, please?
For Poetry Jam at
poetryjaam.blogspot.com, Brian asked us to write about a
superhero—flashed back to when the kids were small and my man and I
were working 60 hours, barely finding time to breathe. Plus, I've
always loved that name “Wonderwoman” :-)
WOW! Do I ever remember THOSE days ... how did we survive? :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Helen! I look back and honestly don't know I did all that-- especially since I only work part time now and can't seem to find time to do anything:-)
Deleteand screamed with out a sound...ha...i hear you...after 5 hours in the car with 2 boys on too much soda....i might have dented the stearing wheel with my grip...ha...whew...i remember those days though, for sure
ReplyDeleteHi Brian! You really made me laugh--in empathy:-) those car rides can be very trying, and the kids will probably remember it as that great trip with Dad...
DeleteYou are 100% right here, Sara!!! You WERE (and probably still are) a Wonderwoman!!! I love the idea of jumping three weeks of laundry in a single bound!!! Always so glad to see you in Poetry Jam.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Thank you, however I traded in my sparkly spandex a while ago
Delete;-) Always happy to play with everyone at Poetry Jam, you all have created a wonderful community!
Hi Mary! Thank you--however I hung up my sparkly spandex a while ago
Delete;-). I'm happy to play at Poetry Jam, you all have created a wonderful community!
Yes, moms are like that... especially ones like you!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! You are too sweet--I know you are secretly wearing a cape too:-)
Delete= )
DeleteIf only moms could fly, then nothing could stop them, even when they bark, "Tidy your room!". I loved this.
ReplyDeleteHi Alan! Yes, flying moms--I love that thought:-)
DeleteThis is why I think the Holy Spirit is female in essence, the Divine Sophia. That's my real superhero!
ReplyDeleteRemember "Volume Control Grrl"? My superhero could turn down the volume on boomboxes and booming car stereos with a flick of the wrist, ha ha.
Mother, thy name is Wonder Woman! Amy
Hi Amy! Always so good to see you--i love your super hero, and the Divine Sophia too:-)
DeleteOh, my. YES. Won't someone help her, please, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi De! Thought you'd understand this:-)
DeleteThe mantra of Mrs. Jane Doe ... this is fun and funny, but not really. Won't someone please help her?
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Yes that's what I was going for a little tongue in cheek and reality. Thank you :-)
DeleteLOL! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Mad! So glad you enjoyed it:-)
DeleteI'm laughing my head off! It's funny how people praise men for putting gazebos up, fixing machinery and sorting out the shed. Yet, we forget our everyday heroes (or heroines, rather). Beautiful and straight-to-the-point poem! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Women like that really are Wonder Woman! Fun poem. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I love this Sara. She and all her sisters are wonderwomen indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes. Help needed! Great response to the prompt --- it made me smile!
ReplyDeleteoh i hear you....each mom is a wonderwoman....i sometimes thought it would be cool to have 6 hands to be able to do more things at once...smiles
ReplyDeleteAble to scream without a sound - perfect!
ReplyDeleteI, too love "scream without a sound".
