Baby Born Today

Numera omnes qui ingrediuntur hic omissa spe... Abandon all hope all who enter here... Slowly I enter...agonising pain Tormented...crying with fear I move on...innocent Oh the horrendous horrors with eyes drenched in dark Demons dancing...necromancing, frolicking through the view Baths of blood...bleeding tears that flood, my anguish is their brew For I’ve walked a thousand miles, and all I see is the devils mark And now I sit still Momentarily...nervous Back and forth I pace I await a new recruit My baby is born today. In this poem I'm trying to show a quick transitioning between a child and the father as seen through their experience...as the baby enters a cruel world and the father is waiting... the circle of life Aug.30.2016 Challenge - Write One of each...

WW, the thought expressed in your words gave me a chill. I thought very much about what would await my daughters before having them. A powerful write.

Interestingly dark for a baby being born, pehaps that's what is so appealling - the reality of this harsh world. Congrats and warm regards, Laura.

Well done and full marks to you, WW. Thank you for the explanation, helps to bring a clearer picture to mind. I love the sound of Latin words; I studied Latin and it has helped me a lot when doing research. ~ Looking forward to seeing this on the winners' list. Regards // paul
