When no one quite knows yet
that you are here,
a baby bump
in the overall scheme of
everyday life,
riding to infinity,
possibilities streaming
like that dimple in Beethoven's ear,
glorious music
bopping, bursting forth,
bringing hope
with your first flutter.
That's when
I believe, baby.

ReplyDeleteThank you! And what a spin!!!!
DeleteNice poem! And new babies are wonderful. Best of luck to the family and to you in your self-publishing venture! I'm going to look up your book. Scotland is one of my favorite places on Earth.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and commenting, Lori. Scotland is one of my favorite places as well, especially northern Scotland.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine. I think poetry is the neatest way to dive into images and impressions. Look forward to seeing your work on A to Z.
DeleteBeth, I'm so glad to run into you through this challenge. I love your poem, and congratulations on the new grandbaby coming. I'm a grandma too and I love it. I'm glad to follow your blog.
