You have made me cry! But...Oh, my gosh, Brigindo! You have made me cry! But in a good way. I love this poem to pieces. It strikes a mommy chord in me, yes. But you've done a wonderful job of individualizing it, so that Angel's personality shines through. <br /><br />I love the details. I love his joke. I love the smell of his little bald head while going to sleep in contrast with the pee and milk when waking up. The mother worry and guilt is so right on.<br /><br />But what really, really gets me in the heart is the last stanza, that image of him sitting on the couch. I can just imagine a little boy, sitting there with his foot propped up as if he owns the place...and he does. Awesome repetition of those end lines. Even the narrator's voice characterizes the little boy. <br /><br />Happy birthday, Angel! Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece. I love it when you post poetry.
