Greetings, inky14dinky! Thank you for entering "The Writer's Cramp - Poetry Week" !

It's tough to let your children go on their way. The empty next syndrome is not easy at times. Nice portrayal of what a mother might feel after her children have left.

I like how you imply a mother keeps her children inside her heart, more precious than gold. That really stood out to me.

I loved these lines:

Mama's heart has been broken
by those she loves best
for they have gone and left her
they have flown the nest

Nice rhyming and easy flow of words.

Best of luck in the contest!

Have a great day and...
