Turnabout

“To provide care for the people who once cared for us is one of life’s greatest honors.”

Old woman with middle-aged daughter in a selfie.
My beautiful mother who is 84 years young in 2022.
Turnabout 


Capable 
Hands care for
A small child. 

Years, decades,
Pass — mother’s
Aged somehow.

When did I
Become her 
Caretaker?

April is National Poetry Month, and I’ve joined a poetry challenge, which is to write a poem a day for thirty days using a different poetry form each day. Today’s poem form is a Tricube; which is essentially 3 syllables per line, 3 lines per stanza, and 3 stanzas per poem.  If you would like to follow along this is where the poem prompts originate: Stephanie Says So.
