Villanelle On Parenting
My name is Jamie Lee Hamann and I started sharing poetry articles back in 2013. Every year I share a poem a day in April.
Villanelle on Parenting
There are many sides to modern parent
whether parental or not go gently
just remember, no need to stay current.
One part survivalist, two parts labor
so forced to look at world differently
there are many sides to modern parent.
Don't listen to advice from your neighbor
some words should be whispered evidently
just remember no need to stay current.
When being present will return favor
and listen to your children constantly
there are many sides to modern parent.
Attention seems to affect behavior
when used along with positivity
just remember no need to stay current.
So soon you notice moments to savor
embrace the memories with family
there are many sides to modern parent
just remember no need to stay current.
