Poem About Poetry - Giving Birth To A Child

Rating: 5.0


a poem may take a moment to conceive but years to write
more laborious than getting a baby out into this world
every word has to be at its right place; a hand,
a leg, two eyes, feet, nail, hair and the ears

the idea is driven like the wheels of a cart
while words try to catch up in enthusiasm like little seeds
in the breeze, twirl, swirl, until each is assigned
their rightful place: two hands, two legs, a head, ears, two eyes
and given a smooth birth to greet each of us with a broad cry of accomplishment
