Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Baby's Quaint Garden

Slumbering baby's feet rest in a quaint garden,
     As their youngest member naps peacefully,
          A wailing baby stirs, ignores looks made silly,
               After a short while, normalcy weighs-in.

               An exuberant baby squirms around,
          As a whimsical garden undress for young sight,
     That being proffered midst an increased, proper light,
Above and under, a baby goes round.

Hush, a ladybug takes flight bouncingly,
     A baby's head progresses upward and around,
          Venturing to detect the beating sound,
               A head steadies, a tiny face powdered with glee.

               Coos, giggles, an orange speck gain the distance,
          A grinning baby receives the same fate,
     While some garden remains behind a closing gate,
And a sun sinks past a white picket fence.
