M.O.T.H.E.R. A mother's day poem with a unique take on an acronym acrostic poem.

M.O.T.H.E.R.

My One True Hero Ever Rules

The Queen who beds my crown with jewels

My One True Hero Ever Roots

The Sage who helps my dreams grow shoots

My One True Hero Ever Rears

The Hand who holds my wonder years

My One True Hero Ever Roars

The Lioness who gives me claws

My One True Hero Ever Rings

The Bell who chimes the songs I sing

My One True Hero Ever Rocks

The Build who lets my bass line drop

My One True Hero Ever Rolls

The Drum who celebrates my goals

My One True Hero Ever Rides

The Moon who knows my changing tides

My One True Hero Ever Reigns

The Queen whose crown no one can claim

💡 I'm not really a fan of acronym, acrostic poems but I am a huge fan of my mum 😜 so I tried to experiment with the well-worn form and come up with something different and write a mother's day poem. Can you use M.O.T.H.E.R. like an acronym and make a sentence about your mum from the six letters. For each couplet, I also use a metaphor to describe my mum - which objects would you compare your mother to and why? Please share your own mother's day poems on the blog.
