Stillborn Poem by Stevie Taite
Stillborn
S ilence did haunt the delivery room
T ortured by labour forlorn
I nfant lay lifeless in saddening gloom
L imp but so perfectly formed
L ife was not meant to inhabit their girl
B arren, the pain mum endured
O nly the sobs of the dad split the still
R ipped, by what must be inured
(N ine months to make death? cruel's the word)
Oh this is such a very heartbreaking poem, and so sorry to hear this occurred... but you made a great poem to express your heartfelt thoughts to your friend.
reminds me of parliment hill fields by Sylvia Plath though that is a miscariage. essentially though i suspose their just as heart breaking.
Very sad Stevie - you may like to read mine also entitled Stillborn.

Amazing acrostic, pretty disturbing and haunting, no person should ever be able to feel this trauma. Thank you for sharing this lovely though depressing work. K.P.
