Grendel's mother

I only have vague memories of a united family. I was five when my family life came crashing down; only it didn’t fall on me, it fell on my mother. The only memories I have of the divorce are not of a courtroom, but of my loving father being kicked out of the house he created. It was not until I was around seven that I learned my mother left my dad just because she was bored. The first time I spent with my dad after the divorce was ironically as soon as he was kicked out.

upbringing, she rushed over to help. The boy was frantically crying as his mother was inspecting his finger, she began to show my mom where his finger was red and swollen, my mother with a concerned voice asked, “What happened? Did he stove his finger?” The boy’s mother looked up at my mom with an irritated look in her eyes, and sarcastically came back with, “ No Ms. West Virginia, he didn’t stove his finger, but he’s fixin’ to.” My mother felt completely shut down and deflated.…

the mother sits alone thinking for her own pleasure as long as she can in order to get away from her busy life. The first two stanzas of the poem show that the mother has diapers on the line and that there is a doll laying out in the house, though the mother wants time for thinking. Ergo she sits outside in a chair doing nothing. The diapers and the doll show that the mother has responsibilities such as taking care of her children’s diapers and cleaning up the house.

Most songs on the radio today consist of lyrics. When an artist sits down to create music they are channeling a certain experience they may have had in their life. Whether that experience is heartbreak or a new relationship, even something that happened in the past. They put their feelings and experiences into the lyrics of their song.
