Video Poem: The Caregiver’s Craft

Published by

on

I created a video poem for “The Caregiver’s Craft”, which is in my poetic memoir, Three-Penny Memories, now available on Amazon. For this movie, I selected a random sampling of photos of Mom mostly. The music is public domain, available on my iMovie app. I believe it was called “Hope”. The featured image is of Mom on her wedding day.

    Well done, Barb.
    The concern for maintaining a loving relationship is clear in this.

    The difficulty of caregiving and honoring are clearly expressed in your poem. I was moved by it.

    Such a beautifully thought-out poem..full of truth, transparency, love and despair. I vibrate to this line, as I have lived it too, “being a doting daughter is daunting.” Nice to meet you Barb…your lifetime picture collage was very moving.
