NEWCOMER

Poem

Newcomer of 12 hrs,
7 mins and 8 secs,
a calm dawn beckons,
as I gently cradle thee,
your precious body, so,
delicate and wee, while
my hand becomes
damp, as you have
casually done a pee.

Author's Note

This is dedicated to my nice, aged 6.

Ha ha. Brilliant. The poem like the child lulls you into the false sense of security and as you are busy adoring it does something gross on you. I love it. As a parent I can totally relate. Absolute classic. Im gonna be chuckling to myslef about this one all day.

Really nice to hear from you, dear Author, thank you kindly.

[L.Edward]

My pleasure. An audience with you is something that I don't get to enjoy often enough for my liking. I can only say that its rarity makes it all the more special. Many Blessings!

Haha! Twist of events brilliantly put..
Seems like you got lost in the moment adoring the little one.

How touching, how lovely you describe the joyous emotions parents feel when they hold their children in their cradle.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Indeed there is a particular feeling for anyone who comes close to a new born baby, a very delicate energy, thank you so much for reviewing, dear Poet.
