Seren Roberts Poet Verse

At Last, a Son - Tritena Contest

She wanted a daughter, her husband a son
They've had a baby, these lovely words are new
Been waiting for years for a live child to be born

Many times in labour, always still born
Grandparents waited to hold their grand-son
Tears of joy were shed, overwhelming hope is new

A nursery been prepared all sparkly clean and new, 
smile on their faces when a crying baby was born,
Heart bursting with joy, at last, a son

Want to shout from the rooftop, at last we have a ......"New Born Son"




A.....new
B.....born
C.....son

Andrea Dietrich July 14, 2014 at 3:10 PM Awesome, Seren!! actually you don't have to do the last three words like that in direct order in the last line, though it looks very nice in your poem. I had a discussion with Craig about it, and he realized it is ok to mix those words up in the final line!(I had researched it online and I hope Craig won't mark my poem down for it!) Seren Roberts July 15, 2014 at 9:28 PM Lol u know me Andrea, if not sure follow rules to the letter,and I am invariably not sure. Lol.....Seren
