I smiled as your poetry sure brings back memories while I was raising my seven kids. Enjoy the moments they pass much too quickly. I like your message and the rhyming is superb.
Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job with this. I can relate because although I don't have any kids as of yet I don't have any time for any hobbies. I enjoy my nice quiet nights and slightly miss them when I go a period without them. Great job and good luck in the contest

Debra, I found this beautifully written very creative, illuminative and resourceful. I found your rhymes to be neither forced, labored or strained in your rhythm flowed smoothly throughout the poem which made it easy for me to read your poem clearly. Kickback and crack open a bottle of sparkling water and chill. Thank you for sharing and posting your work for others and may the Lord be with you always.

Amen to that, Debra!

I'd love to have a hobby now,
but time is not my own.
My brood claim ev'ry tick and tock,
I've no chance 'til they're grown.

Ain't it the sad, sorrowful truth? This was perfectly metered and rhymed, and the story it tells is a very common one for anyone who has or had children.

Well done, Debra!

Well done. I can relate to this fully.Yhe rhythm is great and the words well chosen. I like the dry subtle humor here and the way it relates to most busy mothers. Great job!
