there is something very sweet abt this poem..........well penned

Wonderful tribute. Love it.

A mother always yeilds to the basic needs of her child Its the same with all mothers at their basic instincts Build upon that there may be many more. Very emotional tribute to your mohter. Good gesture. Thanks for this read.

A touching word portrait of your mother. She sounds like a very caring person.10, for your great memories of her. Kind regards, Sandra

a true to heart tribute to a stomach more than a head mother :)

she was a person to whom the stomach was more than the head....Words seem to pour over rolling....I can sense your affection for your mother very easily....more than a tribute...excellent

Great mammy poem... 'Eat all your veggies up they are good for you What would we do without them god dam it I'm still hooked on Cod Liver Oil' thanks for the memories....regards +++10

a real mother knows the value of eternal love.........that only flows through your words........a goat can call her amme...not a crow.........

a true naive expression with out any exageration. shan

until the stomach is happy, your head cant work.your mother was a very very wise person.ihanks

the originality here makes one realize that it's a true depiction of your mother I do agree with Ravi - his suggestion would bring an improvement, but if you leave it stand as is it's still a decent piece

The way to a mans heart is through his stomach, so your mother was a wise lady.

The first stanza stands out from the rest. Can you please improvise 'the stomach was more than the head'? There is a stone bite in that line. The expression is incomplete. Perhaps you are pointing out to the fact that she was a practical woman, down to earth, more than an intellect. Let us take the expression to a more graceful levels. Thanks.

DEAR SAMAYANYAN, THIS IS A GOOD TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS OF THE YESTER -YEARS WHO USUALLY WERE MORE INTERESTED AND BUSY ABOUT FEEDING THEIR CHILDREN THAN THE MODERN DAY MOTHERS WHO HAVE TO LOOK AFTER FAMILY AS WELL AS JOBS. STILL MY PERSONAL SUGGESTION IS TO CHANGE A SINGLE WORD'BLUNTNESS' TO 'SHYNESS' WHICH MAY BE MORE ADORABLE AND ACCEPTABLE WHEN WE TALK OF OUR MOTHER. OVERALL IT'S A GOOD POEM - A-10- FROM ME -RAJKUMAR

I like this kind and honest write about your 'Amma' - it is true mothers of her generation paid so much attention to being hospitable with such simplicity - something we truly miss today...10++

great poem sometimes life lessons are better than great education a loving mother

your mother had innate intelligence, thus endeared herself to you. poetry cannot be written on empty stomach, so she had her priorities right. i always tell my son, when he is troubled to eat well to clear those cobwebs. a fine tribute to a wise, honest, simple mother. she learnt from life...10 mamta
