3 a.m.
my daughter at three a.m.
running
sleepy but so awake and alive.
I can understand that-
I am exhausted, so tired
of this day to day motherhood,
so weary of constant demands.
But I am so alive inside
burning with a want for freedom,
burning with the passion
for living-
only able to really be free
in poetry.

duddle146over 17 years agoWhat a devine thought ~ freedom in poetry. Swept away - caught up by the happy creative current.
LeBrozover 17 years agoNice little piece ~
But what about the joys of fatherhood?
Perhaps I'd better write one...
rikaaimover 18 years agoI think the imagery could be a little bit more crips, but I fully got the meaning of your poem. Often I am in the same boat, late nights, trapped, alone, but free through poetry and the ability to share it with others. I really enjoyed how you tied that in with your daughter. The non-stop job of being a mother can often times make a woman forget that she is an individual. I'm glad you found a way to retain that for yourself.

WickedEveabout 19 years agoI just finished reading another one of your poems and I can see you definitely have a few things to say. This poem needs some more work, but you do have the most important thing here--something to say.
