[bodytext] => Unique A creation Like no other Perfect made A snowflake Fresh fallen Gently held Still in her palm Disappeared Melted to a single tear A mother will Cry forever. An all too disturbing subject that I would not have even considered trivialising in any artistic form but I felt different about it here. I stumbled across a ‘missing children’ link at the base of a web site I was viewing one day. As I watched various photographs of such children flashed quite rapidly within the banner showing age and location as it ran. After a few minutes it struck me that these were not repetitions, literally hundreds and hundreds of children were listed from many countries and cultures maybe thousands if I had sat there long enough. I was caught in an emotional bubble with this; torn between the thought of the children themselves (an angle I probably couldn’t have broached adequately enough in my writing) and the incomparable despair of the parents. I approached the whole thing by trying to realise the unique divinity of a child along with the equal uniqueness of a mothers love.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
