Sara Kendrick Poet Sonnet

A Bubble Blown Up With Breath

I will tell of love in fourteen short lines
Remember when you chipped bone in kneecap
So much pain for you and me nothing fine
Knee pain for you for me nausea trap

You had surgery, nausea had me
One baby in arms another womb bound
When you came home, total care you no glee
Beside chamber nausea vomit round

Daily existence for weeks ugly trap 
Baby, husband's care between nausea
Holding baby my only relief gap
Situation had me deep undersea

Love is deep when one gives beyond their strength
Giving beyond the call of duty is youngth

Nick Bagnall September 20, 2010 at 4:28 AM I think you captured the difficulty of the situation quite well, I've been in a similar situation (though obviously I wasn't pregnant :) - nice write

John Rhinem September 19, 2010 at 8:36 PM Smile ~ And as far as possibly being temporarily deep under sea perhaps well, it seems like "Your Splendors" have persevered extremely well dear lady ~ "Beautifully Stirring Poem, 'Dear Sara'" ~ "Much Love & Warmth Always to You &, All You Love," John! ~ Smile, "Have A Very Blessed & Beautiful Tomorrow 'Dear, Lovely Sara Kendricks,' Amid 'The Gentle Caressing Arms of, Beautiful Love;'" Bye, "Beautiful Sara!":) ~

John Rhinem September 19, 2010 at 8:29 PM Smile ~ I like that possible metaphor which "Your Beauty" created in "Youngth" at the end of this very soulfully depthful poem here "Dear Precious, Gifted & Lovely Sara Kendrick!!!" ~ And "Yes," I have noticed a strength inside of "Your Splendors" dear amid "Your Brightened Verse" along lifes way here at Poetry Soup since I first glimpsed "Your Talented Loveliness!!!" ~ ....Cont:)

Lynette Chachere September 19, 2010 at 7:04 PM your last stanza reveals much of love depths and what it can do. pain is where it can tend to show a lot. ~Always&Forever Lynette
