Jessie Mitchell’s Mother Comments

"My mother is jelly-hearted and she has a brain of jelly: Sweet, quiver-soft, irrelevant. Not essential. Only a habit would cry if she should die.....o touching. Beautiful poem.

" Her way will be black" ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

" her exquisite yellow youth " fantastic conceptualization. Well deserved modern poem of the day.
