A CONTEST FOR AP MOTHERS (PW'S ALLOWED)

Ok, I recently found out that I am going to be a mom, I am really excited and scared at the same time. so what I want are poems about being a mom, good or bad, happy or sad, doesn't matter. You may enter multiple times (~just add your name in author's notes for fair judging~) and prewrites are allowed. I will try my best to comment on each one but I have a very busy few weeks ahead of me so please try and be patient...

The only rules are:

1. Please make to where I can read it, no crazy backrounds or typing.

2. No bashing other poets

and I think that's it....
