A Week With Mom

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPoemTags:, , , , , , 
Single mother sacrifices a rare week of vacation
To take her children (and one of their friends) on a wonderful staycation
A day at the museum of natural history
A boat trip to the Statue of Liberty
Among New York City’s local destinations

Out to Long Island for some beachside gratification
Take home Chinese food for much needed satiation
Money was tight and nothing was free
Single mother sacrifices

The Bronx Zoo’s animals evoked animation
Flushing Meadows’ giant globe elicited fascination
Many amazing things we did see
But the best of all was time with mommy
As her work created so much separation
Single mother sacrifices

W3 Prompt #82: Wea’ve Written Weekly’s poet of the week, Sarah, prompts us to write a rondeau inspired by a childhood memory.
