A very well-written 5-7-5 about a mother's love that never fades and we can always turn to them for advice when we do not know how to handle a situation.

Nicely done 5-7-5. What a blessing your mother is and how precious to her that you still look to her for wise advice. I like that you end with her wisdom that you can see in her eyes. Best wishes in the contest.

You are certainly most fortunate to still have her around. I like the pic you chose, too.
And the colours go nicely with your 5/7/5 poem. I wish you luck in the contest.

Thank you. She is all I have really ever had. When my dad died, my mother had 7 little girls between the ages of 4 and 13. She was always wonderful.

Your mother sounds wonderful. It's good to know she still has everything going for her at 94. I'd bet that her advice is always right. Good luck in the contest.

Your mom must really be a mind and gentle human being. May she live a longer and healthier life as well. You managed to convey so much in a few words and that was amazing! Well done!

Comment from rspoet
You've written an excellent poem for the contest
but line two has only five syllables by my count (need seven)
and it must be a 5-7-5.
You already have a beautiful poem with excellent description,
just add two syllables like "loving"
Great picture choice
Good luck in the contest
Best wishes to you and your mom

Thank you so much! I was playing with words for that line and I guess I never finished! Thanks for saving me.

I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt.
This short verse tells of looking into mother's wise eyes, very nicely.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.
