Poetry assignment #3 was to write a poem using a persona (meaning the speaker is someone other than yourself). I chose to write from the perspective of my mom, but in a second-person point of view. Would love to hear your thoughts/feedback on this poem!

"Mom"

Maybe one day he’ll finally go to the gym
like he’s told you all these years.
Maybe he’ll lift the bar, set it down,
realize the real strength he needs is inside,
not out of the weather but
out of the whether
or not
to finally admit
that you were right all along.
“Mother knows best.”
You knew there was no way
a straight boy could tell
cerulean from cornflower,
sea foam from turtle green,
could go three years and
still not confess his crush.
Maybe one day. But
until then, you wait
for his weight to rise again,
like a BMI of 19 will kill
a kid of 19, you
fatten him up,
fatten him up,
yet he’s still stick-thin.
Maybe one day.

You're a very proficient writer, AgentP.

So far your Game 1 and 2 predictions have been the opposite of right, so I'm gonna predict the Indians have a 3-1 lead after Game 4.

Thank you so much! I'm super proud of this poem especially but I really do love writing as a whole :)
