Beautiful. Well done, James. It brings to mind the horror tales of Nathan Ballingrud, especially from his collection North American Lake Monsters: seeing the humanity in monsters, even those shuffling around in the mortal coil of a human.
Wonderful rhythmic poetry and very heartfelt description of motherly compassionate love i think that love is so pure and cannot be compared to anyone in this world, that's the reason why we say Allah loves us more than 70 thousand mothers if one mother could love with such intensity think of how compassionate God is towards you. Applause for the poem.
I am very thankful for the poets bold enough to carry on the tradition of rhyming poetry. It is a great tragedy that so many of our poets have chosen the easy route of free verse, and I am glad that at least one is willing to return to the old greatness.
Haunting. The clear-sighted compassion in this poem makes me catch my breath. One of my favorite poems from the collection.

By the end of the poem you feel you kow this man. And you look at your own neighbor/tow-truck driver a little differently.
I just went to a lecture by Wilson a couple weeks ago! Hoping to read more of his poetry.
