				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The Starmaker paused<br />
On the cusp of the day.<br />
She straightened the sky;<br />
Sent the sun on her way.<br />
She welcomed the moon<br />
And he tipped her his grin.<br />
Only once he was settled<br />
Then she could begin.<br />
With great sweeping motions<br />
And a flick of her wrist,<br />
Her eyes truly sparkled<br />
As stars came exist.<br />
She twirled and she twisted<br />
Until she was spent<br />
Leaving a sprinkle of glitter<br />
Wherever she went.</p>
<p>The Starmaker is a fairytale poem by <a href="http://www.msmoem.com">Ms Moem</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I don&#8217;t mind waiting<br />
So long as it&#8217;s coming.<br />
The wallpaper is tatty<br />
The fridge won&#8217;t stop humming.<br />
The holiday plans<br />
Are always maybe next year.<br />
But still, I don&#8217;t mind waiting.<br />
The time is surely near.</p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t mind waiting;<br />
Good things come to those&#8230;..<br />
Who needs meals out?<br />
Who needs fancy clothes?<br />
You&#8217;ve got more than some<br />
Though more would be a plus.<br />
But still, I don&#8217;t mind waiting.<br />
I&#8217;ll not make a fuss.</p>
<p>I honestly don&#8217;t mind waiting<br />
I&#8217;ve already waited so long.<br />
When the hope fades away<br />
You just have to stay strong.<br />
I&#8217;m still in the queue<br />
I will just sit and wait.<br />
I&#8217;ve been waiting forever<br />
&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
Perhaps I&#8217;m too late?</p>
<p>A poem about waiting by Ms Moem.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><em>Becoming a mother&#8217;s a wonderful thing<br />
A baby&#8217;s a gift; their own love they bring.<br />
It&#8217;s a marvellous time, it really is neat<br />
But some other things happen that aren&#8217;t quite so sweet.</p>
<p>Your figure is altered, re-moulded &#038; softened<br />
Time with the washing machine becomes urgent and often.<br />
Your brain becomes addled as your womb swells with pride<br />
You are being re-programmed, right from the inside.</p>
<p>You develop an instinct straight from Jurassic Park<br />
Like the fire had been built, and had now taken spark.<br />
You could distinguish a cry from hundreds of others;<br />
Transformation complete. You are now primal mother.</p>
<p>Your fears become heightened, so no resting on laurels<br />
It is your job to be teacher, imparting knowledge and morals.<br />
It is your job to guide them, to become compass, and driver<br />
As you yearn for their absolute happiness, with every single fibre.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll end up watching more children&#8217;s television than you&#8217;d care to admit<br />
So much that you&#8217;ll even start to enjoy it a bit.<br />
You&#8217;ll find yourself engrossed and so enter the trap<br />
Where you still carry on watching, while baby is taking a nap.</p>
<p>So yes there are changes, embrace one and all<br />
Be poised ready for action, any time your child calls.<br />
And simply do your best, then you won&#8217;t go far wrong.<br />
And above all, enjoy each moment, as childhood doesn&#8217;t last long.</em></p>
<p>A Poem About Being A Mother is a poem by Ms Moem.</p>
