The Cruel Mother is one of my favorite poems. i like it because it shows how women didnt notice about their mental health after birth. The rhyme scheme is A B A B C B C B D B D B E B F B G B G B H B H B I B J B. The lenght of the poem is not very long, but once a person reads the poem it ends fast. The meaning of the this poem is that a mother killed her baby. The two lines that are in each stanza makes the poem the opposite of what the meaning is. many poems can trick a person thoughts.
