Real Poems for Real Moms

From one mother in the trenches to another

Honest, funny, and encouraging, this collection of "mom poetry" is written by a mother in the trenches of motherhood as a means of encouraging other moms. It's a perfect gift for any mother who needs a pick-me-up from a kindred spirit.

Real Poems for Real Moms: From a Mother in the Trenches to Another, by Rachel S. Donahue, combines traditional poetic forms (like sonnets, a limerick, and haikus) with playful concrete poems, free verse, and a couple forms the author made up because they suited her.
