Hiawatha's Parenting

Shut the stairgate! Lock all other
Points of contact with the outside
World and strive to stem the floodtide.
Sweet, demented full-time mother.

Technically perfect and, tbh, really imaginitive poem. I like this a lot :)

Better than the 'final fling' one. :D

Fun little poem. I love the intro, gets us hooked with that exclamation point. My favorite line is 3, though, with its internal rhyme, soft alliteration, and the image of 'stem the floodtide' - for me, gave the poem sort of a tongue in cheek feel.

happy writings.

You're absolutely right about that comma! I've scratched it. Thanks XX

i like.
good title.
good diction.
I'd take the comma out from after "world" on the third line, but that's all.
