Listen to poem:

Premiere Contest WinnerBeneath Her Dress

e her womb  I grew to be 
a fetus live and breathing free
With tender hands she did caress
a tiny bump, beneath her dress 

Amniotic fluid,  "WATER "
protecting her golden daughter 
She sang to me as she did bless 
a tiny bump, beneath her dress 

A vital sign of heart and soul   
I kicked inside her like a foal 
Immersed in liquid no duress 
this tiny bump beneath her dress 

A Pisces child who chose to swim 
after a nine month interim 
An embryo of small, compressed  
a tiny bump, beneath her dress
