Description
I've been taking a writing class the last few weeks. Tonight is the last class and our assignment was pretty open, though the teacher did make suggestions. Since my last piece talked a lot about my son and the great times I've had with him river rafting, etc, she suggested I write about him. I ended up with two different pieces, this poem and short story. Here's the poem:
A Baby Is Born
A baby is born
Soft and new
Sweet little guy
With eyes of blue
I bring him home
Hold him tight
Snuggle so warm
It feels so right
He grows so fast
Into a little boy
Off to school
With lots of joy
Every day brings
Something new
But sometimes
It just makes him blue
Life can be hard
Kids can be mean
His heart is hurt
He’s nearly a teen
I watch him change
Into a young man
Growing and learning
By his own hand
Today he’s strong
And smart and fine
My heart swells
Because he’s mine

Your words just flow from birth to last week in 28 short lines. I can feel your love, your concerns, your feelin he's going to make it and the pride of his having arrived at a place in life you are both proud of. I know you'll be able to add lines to this as the future unfolds. A+++

it's been said that when poetry uses short rhythmic lines, it approaches the poetry of pure childhood and pure folklore. This is like that. It's delightful and moving, Marilyn, as simple as could be, and it touches me truly. And your 2 & 4 rhyme (second & fourth line) is also very simple & childlike, and though it's written by an adult (you) it feels like it's written to the child in all of us. Simple, direct, and touching. Beautiful tribute to your son, and beautiful photo-montage too. Delectable.
