The Joy of Being a Momma

A Reverse Poem

By Maegan HeilPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

They call me Momma

These two kids

But, Oh!

They make me crazy—

I’m hungry

I’m thirsty

Look at me

Look—

The toys are on the floor but who is gonna

Pick them up

I will

Oh! But when they cry

It seems like Nonstop sometimes

I’m grumpy

I’m tired

Look at me

Look—

The dishes are in the sink but who is gonna

Wash them

I will

Oh! But when they scrape their knees

It seems like I have no clue

What I am doing

Look

Look at me

Tugging

Two tiny hands

Down the hall

Here I go again

Failing

NOT

Doing my job and

I am

Running in circles but

The work seems like an Endless loop

Where

is

The Joy of being a Momma

(Now read from bottom to top)

    Wow! Best!

  • This was amazing! I loved it! I did a poem like this as well but it's known as a Palindrome poem or Mirrored poem because at the end of the poem, I repeat the lines in reverse order. I'll share mine with you. I hope you like it
